Three inches is the size where a fixed blade stops being a commitment and starts being something you clip on without thinking about it. You give up reach and you gain a knife you will actually carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Tanto Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tanto puts a second, shorter edge at the front at an angle to the main one, which leaves a great deal of steel behind the point. That makes it the tip to have if you push a knife into things rather than slicing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e1095 Is a Choice, Not a Compromise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1095 is a simple high carbon steel and that is the whole appeal. It takes a keener edge than most stainless will, and it comes back on a stone in a couple of minutes rather than a session. What it asks in return is that you keep it dry and wiped with a little oil, because it will rust if you neglect it and it will take on a patina whether you like it or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMulticolored Micarta\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicarta is layered fabric set in resin, and it grips harder as your hands get wet, which is the opposite of what a polished handle does. Multicolored means the layers show as the handle is shaped, so the pattern follows the contours rather than sitting on top of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA New Maker for Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTravis Mayes works out of Klamath Falls, Oregon, and this is the first batch of his work we have carried.
