日本人です。 日本人以外でここまでタントーポイントについて深く考えてる動画を初めて見ました。 素晴らしいです。

I remember too when Cold Steel came out with those chisel style tantos. They make great work knives (folders) for scraping.

I own this eafengrow and I love it. I like no back guard at all if I'm using a finger choyal. The finger Choyal and jimping throw this knife into the obvious category of Japanese cowboy ranch tanto!

Great video! I love tantos, specifically traditional Japanese style tantos...ie...James Williams designs. I have two Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII's that I love but overall I find most Americanized tantos unappealing, especially the ones that almost look like chisels. Incidentally, the inventor of the American Tanto is Bob Lum not Lynn Thompson, according to Sal Glesser and a bunch of other knowledgeable people. Lynn Thompson capitalized on the design and mass produced it and made it a known commodity.

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful knives, just starting to get into them last few years, so much too learn

Very cool array there. As a hadcore katana enthusiast, apart from a traditional style tanto, I love my CRKT hisshou, with after market proper saya so I can put in obi and use as a companion to a katana. I think if the samurai of old were to be resurrected today, I think we would all be surprised by what they would choose off the shelf today.

I also prefer the term "American style tanto" as well.

I have a pair of the old Spyderco Bob Lum fixed blades. They are beautiful.

I got a great Tanto from a suprising place called Karate Mart its like a Extrema ratio and the handle is exquisite Its made from 1060 manganese High carbon steels and that is what train tracks are made of. Like all high carbon steels you have to oil it of cource , it is called the Modern tactical Tanto,the kydex fits perfectly its worth checking out for only $69 I think its a great buy for a quarter inch thick and 12 inch long chunk of High Carbon pointy goodness

Very nice explanation. I kind of knew the story but that smoothed it over. Thanks. Great presentation as usual. Well done sir.

I could never debate blade shapes. I know what I like and I buy it. Only important thing to me is that it's stainless steel. Impressive knowledge of Tanto blades, though! Thanks for sharing.

I'm certainly with you there. Find what you like and works for you, then go with it! 👍🗡️👊

I love them all! 😁👍

thanks for clarifying.

Lo más similar a un tanto tradicional que e visto y tengo es la navaja de Ruike p-127 B

Tamashi doesn't mean knife, it means soul. The extra i at the end is probably just so they can trademark the name.

Thank you! Knew I was incorrect as soon as the words left my mouth 😅 May have been thinking of kiru for sharp.

Excellent video! Appreciate you taking the time to break it down. As far as the pronunciation goes - I say "Tan Toe", not "Tahn Toe" when I am referring to the "Americanized Tanto". I realize that is NOT the Japanese pronunciation but, like you said, it isnt a Japanese knife. So.... your actual traditional tantos get the Japanese pronunciation BUT the Cold Steel creation is its OWN thing and gets its own pronunciation 😁 Does that make sense? Those Japanese style knives are "Tahn toes" but that American one is a str8up TAN toe 😎

No worries here with regards to pronunciation. We americanize a lot of foreign words and a knife by any name is still the same knife!!! 👍🗡️👊

Brilliant, thank you 😁🙏

I meant to ask for the knife on the far left of the thumbnail on your video named "Collection Vid: Japanese Inspired Fixed Blades! Tanto? Kwaiken? Kiridashi! Check 'em Out" released six months ago.
