You got it! Do you own one of these? I'm really suprised how much I like this knife! Made in Italy (by Fox Cutlery I believe) it made me a believer in N690 steel....it can take an absoluteley wicked sharp edge and hold it rather well. The grind lines on the blade are just beautiful to me, very aesthetically pleasing. And the G10 handles are super grippy (we're talking Emerson grippy!) and very ergonomic. Oh, and the pocket clip is tip down which I prefer. It's too bad these are no longer available and damn near impossible to find now.

The SigTac is a very nice knife. Mine has a partially serrated edge and a black handle. Got it directly from Sig Sauer in 2006-2007. Also, got one of their other folders where the handle looked just like a SIG P226. The steel on the Italian (Fox or Extrema Ratio) made SigTac was N690Co from Bohler of Austria. Those Boker knives made in Germany now use N690BO which is similar/same...
 
just can't do a single picture with all the knives. One small sample I took the other day, was just some of the knives I use when outdoors. There are many more.

BK9, Helle Laplander, Ka-Bar d2 extreme, Brusletto Hunter, grip, Leatherman c33t, crkt minimalist.

I love all these massive collections out here, but the small ones have a certain charm to them. Perfectly balanced collection sir.

You got it, that is the Master Tanto. It was purchased earlier this year from an individual, it was like new, but no box...
Although, the "original" cold steel Tanto had brass fittings back in the 80's. It was a 5 3/4" blade back then, and then 6" when they switched to stainless steel instead of brass for the guard and pommel in the 90s.
The one in the pic is probably a pre-2006, as the angle of the blade near the tip where it transitions is sharper on the newer ones. Also, the markings on this one say San Mai III, possibly making it the Aus8a san mai, unlike the newer ones that are marked "VG1 San Mai III" after the switch over...
 
Crappy cell phone pic of some of mine that are in "display" boxes as well as some fixed blades thrown in for fun... :D
