Walther Tac Tanto Pro

Walther Tac tanto pro

When I first took this knife out of the box, the first initial thought was, wow!! This is a really attractive looking blade, it’s tanto style combined with it’s tactical look is right up my street! Anybody who knows me, will know that I am a massive tactical style lover and I can’t get enough of tactical style blades!

Blade
The blade is partially serrated and the cutting edge is taper ground. The blade is made of sand Vic, it’s 12c27 advanced stainless steel also used in ice skates, ice drills and also razor blades. This steel is strong and has good corrosion resistance and holds that razors edge!
It comes in a grey parkarised finish with the Walther trade on the left hand side of the blade.

The blade length is 9cm and has a flicker stud on both sides so you can open with your right or left hand. The total length of this knife open is 21cm.

Handle
The handle is made from G10 which is an ideal material for tactical folders because of its ruggedness and lightweight. It feels very comfortable and secure in the hand.
It’s beautifully detailed and again carries the Walther trades on both sides.
This knife has very thick steel liners for added strength!
The blade locks into place with a liner lock, the glass breaker is made from tungsten carbide which is two times stronger than steel.

The blade pin on this knife is removable which is great for cleaning if you should ever get grit or grime in there.

Uses
It’s a very popular design for the collectors! it is not useful as a general utility knife. However, it's extremely strong point allows it to be used in tough situations where piercing hard materials is required. I would personally use it as a camping knife, or if you’re going for a treck it could be useful to have on you, as the serrated edge can cut through chord and thicker rope if you need to. And the bladed part of the Tanto can be good for lighter cutting.

Opinion
This knife has been very well thought out, the designer has shown a lot of attention to detail which you can see from the stills which come with this review, it’s also made from extremely high grade materials which the pro range Walther produce is renowned for.

The knife also comes with a nylon belt case; all this comes in a well presented aluminium gift box.

Perfect for any occasion or if you fancy treating yourself to a really neat bit of kit!!

So, there we have it…The Walther Tac Tanto Pro.

This makes it easier for cutting cords, climbing ropes and belts which is what this knife is designed for. The blade length is 9.5 cm, overall length of the knife is 22.3 cm and the weight: 162 g.

Handle
The handle is made of polymer which has high visibility rubber inlays and each grip plate also has three fluorescent inlays so that the knife can be seen in the dark and held correctly, again preventing injury.

It also features a belt clip which can be placed on either side of the knife, whichever you prefer.

The Walther ERK has a flipper which allows the knife to be opened quickly and easily with an index finger using either left or right hand. Its useful being a flipper as if you need to be using this knife in the dark it reduces the risk of finger injuries from the blade. The Walther ERK has a liner lock mechanism for added safety and security.

Uses
This knife is an ideal companion if you’re a climber, if you should work in mountain or other rescue services, or perhaps carried in a backpack, it would make a great knife to carry if you’re a trecker or venturing around the wilderness.

Blade
The Walther Rescue Knife Pro knife was designed specifically for the user to be able to wear gloves. With or without gloves though this knife feels secure in the hand and comfortable to hold!
The blade is made from sandvic 12c27 steel and the length of the blade is 90mm, the overall length of the knife 218mm with the weight being 208g.
The blade is easily accessible single handed, just like the ERK which is exactly what you need when in an amergency situation. It has a liner lock, very ideal for its uses and has a drop point blade.  It features a removable blade pin for easy maintenance and it just makes life a lot easier for getting that grime out!

Handle
The rubberised G10 handle is ideal for any situation. It is grippy, and as I stated earlier on, comfortable and secure.

Features
Two other excellent features are the built in finger guard on the blade which you can also to flip open the knife  and the tungsten carbide glass breaker on the handle, excellent for a safer and quicker access if need be in a tricky situation.
It also has a retractable seatbelt cutter which is really smooth to operate, and when it goes back in, it’s completely hidden!

Uses
Much like the ERK this would be suited for climbers, if you should work in mountain or other rescue services, or again maybe carried in a backpack, it would make a great knife to carry if you’re a trekker or venturing around the wilderness.

It comes with the nylon belt pouch in the Walther Pro aluminium presentational box.
As with all the Walther and Walther Pro range, the attention to detail on these knives are absolutely superb and lot of the design has been extremely well thought out! Really strong and reliable knives!
