4.0 out of 5 stars
Well done, September 29, 2009
This review is from: Blackhawk Tatang Knife (Misc.)
With a broad thick tool steel blade the Tatang's toughness and edge retention so far have been impressive. The blade geometry, the ergonomics of the handle, and the balance make this knife formidable as a weapon or tool. Wether intended for self defense or for bush craft, the Tatang thus far has been excellent for me and I would recommend this knife to any blade enthusiast. My one complaint is the sheath. With all the quality and superior design Blackhawk put into this tool I'm not sure why they didn't opt for a more useful sheath. I would like to see a Kydex sheath with Tech lock available for this knife.

more than what it appears, November 17, 2009
This review is from: Blackhawk Tatang Knife (Misc.)
For fans of non-stainless, carbon steel blades, the Tatang offers more than a well made fighting knife. The blade is made from 1/4" 1085, coated black, with a fully sharpened false edge on its spearpoint blade. It is, as another reviewer stated, also a fine bushcraft knife, and a formidable chopper, comparing favorably to a Becker BK-9. The handle is quite comfortable, and the balance of the knife is superb, feeling light in the hand considering how much steel one is holding. I also agree that a Kydex (or similar) sheath would be a solid plus; the nylon sheath is well done for what it is, yet seems to be little more than someplace to store the knife, and demands that the handle clasp be secured if one is humping through the woods, or the knife could easily fall out. Sensational blade on a well made knife.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Perfectly balanced knife, April 27, 2010
This is a great knife. The weight is great, and feels very well balanced. I was not 100% sold on the curved handle, but I actually really like it; it feels very comfortable held either normally or reversed. The one and only thing that kept this knife from getting the perfect rating is the seemingly cheap sheath. For as nice and expensive as the knife is, the sheath is very poorly matched to the quality of the knife. A kydex, quick draw type sheath would be great, but I would have even settled for something that would work with molle gear. Overall still a great knife, with the one disappointment of the sheath being pretty cheap.
