Fixed Tanto blade?

[Amplificator]

Hi.

I am on the lookout for a fixed tanto blade knife.

I have searched quite a bit and found that these are very hard to come by.

Does anyone on this forum know of a good fixed Tanto bladed knife, prefereble plain and not serrated, but that is not as important as the fixed blade.

The Benchmade Tanto Griptillian like the one on the bottom picture is exactly what I would like, but in a fixed blade.

Also this Kershaw 0610st is amazing, but also not a fixed knife.

I am open to various grips but the main thing is the fixed Tanto blade.
They are absolutely beautiful whe nthe blade is in black and would go hand in hand with my NiteCore D10 flashlight

Dont pay full price, and dont believe the haters. Some of Cold Steels stuff is crazy overpriced, but most of it is cheap and tough.

I don't know why you would want a tanto, but there are plenty of Kabar and Kabar affiliated knives.

I would like to keep it smaller.

The Benchmade 557 would be perfect if it was a fixed blade:

But there's also the Benchmade 553 whiich is the bigger version:

It's a shame they don't make those in fixed blade versions.

Mostly for display only.

The mentioned Benchmade 557 and 553 is absolutely beautiful and would look pretty on display along with my NiteCore D10 flashlight when not in use.
It looks "stealthy" like a jetfighter

How much force would be needed to "snap" the locking mechanism of one of these Benchmade AXIS knives once it is locked?

Found a Ka-Bar 5556, https://www.kabar.com/product_detai...yId=1,3,7&categoryName=Product Search Results

How is the D2 steel compared to 154CM?

The Cold Steel model "Kobun" might work for you. Fixed blade, non-serrated, very light weight, sharp as a razor, and fairly inexpensive.

That looks decent.

But I think my choice will be the Ka-Bar 5556 that I linked to earlier. It fits all of my requirements.

Although they have now been replaced by other blade styles, you may want to try to find one of the older Cold Steel Mini Tac blades with the tanto tip. It's about the smallest tanto tipped fixed blade I've personally handled. Here's one that was up on eBay a while back:

Have you seen this KA-Bar? It would look really nice in a display case: https://www.kabar.com/product_detai...goryId=1,2,3,7&categoryName=Military/Tactical

"Don't pay full price"

Cold steel operates an "outlet" here: http://www.ltspecpro.com/

Searching Google Product Search yields even lower prices. .

I can't shop using regular webshops in the US because I am located in Denmark, Europe and most of those sites don't offer shipping to outside of the US.

Ebay is the way to go for me, and lucily the Ka-Bar 5556 is available fro mthere, which is the knife I like the most.
