It's nice to have the right tool for the job, and knives are no exception. The Tanto blade, or Tanto style knife has it's roots in Japan, and it's actually considered a sword, not a knife.

Now the American version is a little different, the blade tends to be straight with no belly on the USA style of Tanto blades.

Question is; where do Tanto blades shine (if at all), and where are the weak? What are your thoughts on the Tanto style of knives? Like em, hate em? Own any?
