Ka-Bar Short Tanto - Serrated with Leather Sheath

Short Serrated Tanto

The Ka-Bar Short Tanto is a compact fixed-blade knife. It takes the familiar Ka-Bar profile, with its ringed grip and straight guard, and pairs it with a tanto point and a serrated section near the handle. It is sized for people who want Ka-Bar construction in something easier to carry on a belt or stow in a pack, whether that is for camping, field work or a general-purpose utility knife. It ships with a black leather sheath.

Features

• Tanto Point — The blade ends in an angular, chisel-like tip instead of a curved one, which puts more steel behind the point for piercing and prying.
• Partially Serrated Edge — A run of saw-like teeth near the guard handles rope, webbing and fibrous material, and the plain edge ahead of it does the clean slicing.
• Black Coated Steel Blade — The steel blade has a black finish that cuts down on glare.
• Fixed-Blade Construction — The blade does not fold, so there is no hinge or lock to wear loose under hard use.
• Ringed Grip — Stacked rings along the black handle give your hand a positive hold and help stop it sliding forward.
• Straight Crossguard — A flat metal guard between handle and blade protects your fingers from running onto the edge.
• Pommel Cap — A rounded cap closes off the end of the handle.
• Ka-Bar Markings — The blade is stamped KA-BAR Olean, N.Y. on one side and USA on the other.

Leather Sheath And Carry

The included sheath is black leather, stitched along its edge and reinforced with metal rivets, with the Ka-Bar logo embossed on the face. A snap strap closes over the handle to hold the knife in place, and a leather loop on the back slides onto a belt for carry at the hip. A small hole near the tip of the sheath lets water drain out or takes a cord to tie the sheath down to your leg.
