The western knife tradition has a sequence of blade shapes available from sheepsfoot to lambsfoot to wharnecliff. They have a straight edge and a back sloping to the point. Squaring that back off slightly, making the curved slope into two straight bends, produces a "reverse tanto" named for its similar genesis to the Americanized tanto, with its straightened-off tip. No influence from the higonokami was needed.

Well, does it need or not but they made this invented in the West reverse tanto for hundred of years in Miki City and this shape known for hundreds of years before.

Strange isn't it? Americanized "Tanto" represented as an authentic Japanese shape, while authentic Japanese shape made no influence on the West tradition... All this marketing business is quite paradoxal! But if it works and generates cash flow... who cares?

Thanks, Vassili.

P.S. May be I just am not quite right consumer or something and doing research instead of just buying?

There's a picture and Kershaws description on the 1st page of this thread.
It's very informational. If you think you might like it, buy it. If you don't,
don't buy it.

P.S. If you think you can build and describe a better one, we would love
to see pictures and your description of it. :thumbup:

Have a great day!! :)

If you think you are in position telling me what to do - concentrate and think again. If you continue to feel like giving me direction - I am sorry for you.

Thanks, Vassili.

wow. not much else to say here, but wow.
 
Too bad a great knife got bumped by a wasted conversation. If I realized how useless it would be to inform him of facts, I'd have advised everyone to simply ignore him. I won't make that mistake again.

The good news is, Kershaw has a spectacularly good product out, a rugged and reliable auto that I bet gets put to a lot of good use. The ZT line has sure lived up to its advance billing.
 
hey thomas, would it be possible to erase all posts outside of the first 3? just sayin, it would get us back to topic.

Esav! Is it really you?

Thanks, Vassili.
 
If I go to Arby's and get one of their deli-style sandwiches am I to expect it to be an exact historically accurate copy of the very first "original" deli sandwich? no..., can they still call it a "deli-style" sandwich? sure... who cares, I think we're all able to figure out that it might not be quite the same as the original.







I'm getting hungry, think I'll go make my very own "deli-style" sandwich!!!
