Got more Tantos than I know what to do with. So time to clear out some.

1. Rob Criswell Tanto. Rob hasn't made blades for a long time. Shame too because his pieces were rock solid. This tanto is used. It has been sharpened (and is very sharp). Comes with some weird little scabbard that it came with when I got it years ago (has ZERO retention). And it also comes with a VERY ugly kydex sheath I made that has excellent retention. These were made of A2 tool steel. Has about a 7.5 to 8" blade that's .25" thick. It is a beast of a knife. Think Cold Steel Magnum Tanto on steroids. $300 shipped conus via PP/F&F or $309.35 via PP/G&S. (SOLD)

2. Cold Steel Warcraft Tantos. Got the 12' and 7.5". These were notorious for having tangs that sat proud of the handles scales with sharp edges making them a little uncomfortable to use. I had begun the work of buffing the corners to try and soften them a little. These are users. But they're big thick beefy CPM 3V blades that are ready for just about anything you can sling at them. Was really on the fence about letting these go. I no longer have the little belt strap things for the sheaths. I always just lashed them to a pack. $200 for the 12" shipped conus via PP/F&F or $206.35 via PP/G&S and $150 shipped conus for the 7.5" via PP/F&F or $154.85 via PP/G&S. Or take the pair for $300 shipped conus via PP/F&F or $309.35 via PP/G&S. (BOTH SOLD)

Got an older Laconico fixed blade. Blade is 5160 and is around 5.5" if memory serves me. I'll get a more exact measurement tonight. Knife has been used and sharpened. It's very sharp. Has some wear marks here and there. I made an ugly kydex sheath for it as it didn't come with one. I also removed a little material on the handle scale where the index finger rests to make it a little more comfortable. It looks worse than it is in the pic. If you know how to polish G10 you can make it go away. $275 shipped conus via PP/F&F or $283.60 via PP/G&S
