Ember Tanto – Spring-assisted tanto pocket knife

The Ember Tanto is a spring-assisted pocket knife featuring an 8.7cm tanto blade made from 3Cr13 stainless steel. This 21cm overall length knife combines a distinctive orange aluminum handle with a black oxide finished blade for everyday carry applications.

Construction and materials

The knife features a 3Cr13 stainless steel blade with plain-edge cutting surface and tanto point geometry. The handle consists of textured aluminum in a bright orange finish. Total length measures 21cm with the blade accounting for 8.7cm. The black oxide coating on the blade provides additional corrosion resistance.

Application and use

Designed for EDC (everyday carry) purposes, the tanto blade configuration excels at piercing and tip work while maintaining adequate slicing capability. The spring-assisted opening mechanism enables rapid one-handed deployment, secured by a liner lock system. Suitable for general utility tasks including cutting rope, cardboard, and food preparation.

Integration and compatibility

The knife operates via spring-assisted mechanism with one-handed opening capability. The liner lock provides blade retention during use. The aluminum handle construction keeps weight manageable for pocket carry while the textured grip surface ensures retention in various conditions.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 stainless steel requires minimal maintenance – periodic cleaning and light oiling suffices. The black oxide blade finish provides enhanced corrosion protection. The aluminum handle resists scratching and maintains appearance through regular use.
