The First Tactical Scorpion Knife Tanto (brand part no. 140000-019-1SZ) is built to be the ideal backup knife or boot knife, small and lightweight enough to carry every day without adding bulk. The modified tanto blade is made from 440A steel and rides in an FRN sheath offering a choice of Level I tension-fit retention or Level II locking retention, so the knife stays put until it is actually needed. The locking mechanism is easy to remove for cleaning, letting the blade stand up to nightly field use without the sheath collecting grime and starting to bind.
