The US Tanto is Shed Knives' most tactically-oriented fixed blade and one of the longest-running designs in the lineup, now in its eighth iteration. The reversed tanto profile puts the strong tip on top and the belly along the spine, giving you a reinforced piercing tip with more spine real estate for your thumb when driving a cut. A finger groove between the blade and handle keeps your hand locked in without thinking about it. This is a fixed blade designed to connect an EDC size with a tactical feel, and it does that well.

The 3.082" 154CM blade is flat ground and stonewashed at 0.220" spine thickness. G-10 scales in Coyote Tan / Black G-10 are CNC-milled, removable with a 3/32" Allen wrench, with black oxide hardware throughout. Spine jimping, sharpening choil, triangular lanyard hole. Includes a CNC-milled Kydex sheath. Built in Delaware from 100% USA materials.
