Bark River Kitsuné CPM 154 Natural Maple Burl Black Micarta Bolster and Pins, fixed knife

The Bark River Kitsuné Tanto is a remarkable fixed knife, based on the classic Japanese tanto knife. Many people are probably thinking: 'wait a minute, that's not a tanto!' Well, it is, after all. What we in the West nowadays see as a tanto, with the sharp angle at the tip, is an American tanto. It doesn't have a lot in common with the Japanese original. On these knives the transition is a lot smoother. The same applies to this Bark River Kitsuné Tanto.
