Tanto Blade: The classic Japanese tanto shape has the point exactly inline with the spine of the blade, and has a graceful belly curve. Most tantos seen on the American cutlery market are the Americanized tanto format. Like the Japanese tanto, the Americanized tanto has a high-point in-line with the spine. A flat grind is applied to the point, leaving it very thick and massively strong. The front edge meets the bottom edge at an obtuse angle, rather than curving to meet it as in the Japanese tanto. There is a separate grind applied to the bottom edge, often a hollow grind to leave this edge extremely sharp. Other tanto formats have become popular also, and modifications such as clipping the point or applying a chisel-grind are often seen.

Hand Guard: The guard is a barrier between your hand and the sharp edge. It will project out of the handle, to stop forward motion of your hand. The guard can be a separate component that is soldered or pinned on the blade, or an integral design element that can be formed by including a projection on the blade blank itself. On some fighters, the guards are meant not just to protect your hand from sliding up on the blade, but also to provide protection from the opponent's blade sliding down your blade and onto your hand.

Rick Hinderer
Rick Hinderer has been making custom knives full-time out of his Wooster, Ohio shop since 1987. His initial foray into knifemaking featured fixed straight blades. Gradually he began designing and making folding knives as well, and he is now recognized for his unique designs. Recently he returned to his design roots, making working and tactical knives. While incorporating modern design, Rick's creations are built for everyday function. The Game Pro, manufactured by Gerber Legendary Blades, was his first collaboration with a commercial knife manufacturer.
. And it's earned the endorsement and recommendation of the National Tactical Officers Association; law enforcement professionals who do not suffer fools lightly, let alone gear that falters in the line of duty. Fortunately, the Firestorm fulfills its mission in big, bad way.
