This is the tanto version, Gen IV, with an apocalyptic finished M390MK blade and a commemorative 4th of July USA 250 handle. The dual action slide fires the blade out and pulls it back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote from Lone Star Knife and Supply: We carry this edition in both edges. The single edge is the drop point for everyday cutting. This is the tanto, which puts a second edge at the front at an angle to the main one and leaves a lot of steel behind the point.
