The tanto is an ideal shape for piercing tasks due to the amount of metal that supports the point. This makes it stronger than many other blade shapes. The top of the Brawler's blade features a grind. This is called a swedge; it helps narrow the blade, adding to its piercing power. At the same time, the Brawler's straight belly offers excellent cutting capacity, is perfect for bearing down on a task, and is easy to resharpen.
The Brawler is an excellent utility knife. The handle is just as functional, featuring an angled handle that curves into the palm of the user's hand. Jimping on the back of the blade offers additional traction. With the blade deployed, the flipper doubles as a finger guard and provides additional hand protection during knife use. For fast and easy one-handed opening, the Brawler is equipped with SpeedSafe. Just pull back on the flipper and the SpeedSafe assisted opening system takes over, moving the blade out of the handle, ready for use.
Sturdy glass-filled nylon handle scales, a secure locking liner, and our four-position pocketclip complete the package.
