  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Post your CRK carry knife for today.

I guess that is why we have selection , this small has been in my pocket almost a year this month and I love it .
The tanto has the strongest tip and could be why I like it??? LOL

View attachment 1334666 I’ve got two large tanto’s, this and a micarta Inkosi. I’ve never had a small but as far as the larges go they ain’t that bad. Definitely not the most practical or my favorite shape but they’ll get the job done. It took me a little bit of adjusting to get used to a tanto but once I figured out the best way to use them for the task at hand it became second nature. In my opinion I haven’t really found anything in my usage a tanto does better than an insingo tho
This mirrors my experience with the small. The main thing I notice with the small tanto is I “run out of blade length” on some jobs (cutting up an apple etc), where I would not with an Insingo or even a drop point. I know they are all the same total length, but the tanto does draw the point of engagement a lot further back, if that makes sense. Kinda hard to describe.

Yea that makes sense. I’ve never really spent that much time with my only small (21 micarta insingo). A tanto works pretty good for draw cuts, not as good as an Insingo, but it works
