Cook Tact Tanto by Dennis Cook
A very nice modern Tanto knife, this is a design from Dennis Cook out of AZ. The handle is perfectly shaped to fit inside the hand, making a very comfortable knife you can actually use. You can tell a high quality handmade knife from the attention to details, such as contouring, grind, and edge. Measuring 5 1/4” blade, and 4 1/4“ for the handle, this Tanto is made using durable and light wieght 5/32” 440C. The handle is fashioned with textured black Canvas Micarta, which provides excellent gripping even in trying situations. The finish on the blade is a grey non-glare bead blast.
This blade has been differentially heat treated. This type of heat treatment gives the blade a slightly softer spine with a harder edge, which makes the blade amazingly strong and sharp. Dennis has done a hollow grind on the blade, which makes for a very sharp edge!
This knife also comes with a custom hand fit Kydex crossdraw sheath. The sheath slides easily on your belt for crossdraw carry, and is fitted to this particular knife perfectly. This is a very vesatile sheath carry system, as you can also rig the knife to be worn upright, behind the back, on a pack, around the neck, or upside down!
