old man who usually just lurks, but I've got a knife question for /out/
is the tanto knife shape viable? I'm pretty stuck in my ways but a friend of mine asked for my opinion on where to get a good knife for 'shtf' and I told him id give him a few recommendations, IF he would go camping with me to learn the basics, see if he even wants to bother, he agreed and I recommended mora and cold steel
I've used several of there products prior rangeing from cheap stuff like mora 511s and cold steels bushman bowie, up to some of the high end stuff as well, figured between the 2 he would find something he liked
problem being now hes dead set on the cold steel recon tanto, and while it certainly looks mean as a weapon, is it functional as a knife? I thought id ask here to see, I could be wrong maybe it has its own niche to fill.
