The Ka-Bar Short Tanto Knife (brand part no. 1255) carries the thick, Asian-influenced tanto blade shape that’s built for piercing tough materials, sized down for easier everyday carry. Its partially serrated edge makes quick work of rope and synthetic material, while the plain section handles everyday cutting tasks. Tang-stamped USA, it ships with a leather sheath for immediate belt carry. This is a compact, rugged option for buyers who want the tanto’s reinforced tip without the bulk of a full-size fixed blade.
