Red Tampa Snake Eye – Spring-assisted folding knife with tanto blade

The Red Tampa is a spring-assisted pocket knife featuring a tanto blade design and distinctive red accents. This folding knife combines 420 stainless steel construction with a coated finish for everyday carry applications. The knife weighs 163g and includes a liner lock mechanism.

Construction and materials

The blade measures 94mm in length with a 3mm thickness, crafted from 420 stainless steel. When folded, the knife measures 131mm, extending to 225mm when deployed. The aluminium handle features red liner accents, while the blade sports a protective coated finish for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Application and use

This pocket knife suits everyday carry and light cutting tasks. The tanto blade geometry excels at piercing and slicing through packaging, rope, and general materials. The plain-edge configuration provides clean cuts, while the spring-assisted opening mechanism enables quick deployment.

Integration and compatibility

The knife features one-handed opening capability through its spring-assisted system. A pocket clip allows secure attachment to clothing or gear. The liner lock provides reliable blade retention during use. The 420 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 420 steel requires regular maintenance but remains highly corrosion-resistant. Clean and dry the blade after use, applying oil to the pivot mechanism periodically. The coated finish provides additional protection against scratches during normal use.
