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.
