Tanto blades

[Rich.Carpenter]

Someone educate me. What is the purpose of the tanto style blade on a folding knife? Is it multi-purpose?

 

[tyler34]

the purpose of any tanto knife folding or otherwise is purely tip strength.

want to poke alot of holes in really tough stuff? tanto. want to use your knife to wedge into things and pry? tanto. want to look cool on the internet? tanto.

the last one is just for giggles... but can hold very true! bwahahah!
