Black Tampa | Snake Eye – Spring-assisted tanto pocket knife

The Black Tampa is a spring-assisted pocket knife featuring a tanto blade profile and 420 stainless steel construction. This 0.151kg folding knife combines a 94mm blade length with a coated finish for enhanced durability in everyday carry applications.

Construction and materials

Built from 420 stainless steel, the knife features a 3mm blade thickness and measures 225mm when fully deployed. The black coating protects against corrosion and wear. Folded length is 131mm, making it pocket-friendly. The plain-edge blade configuration suits general cutting tasks.

Application and use

Designed for EDC and outdoor activities, this pocket knife handles utility tasks like cutting rope, cardboard, and food preparation. The tanto blade shape provides a strong tip for piercing and detail work. The pocket clip enables secure carry in pants or gear pouches.

Integration and compatibility

The spring-assisted opening mechanism allows one-handed operation via thumb stud activation. A liner lock secures the blade during use. The knife's compact folded size and integrated clip make it suitable for belt carry or pocket deployment in various work environments.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 420 stainless steel offers basic corrosion resistance but requires regular cleaning after use. Monthly lubrication of the pivot mechanism maintains smooth spring-assisted deployment. The blade coating provides additional protection but may show wear patterns with heavy use.
