BlackHawk Blades, The Tatang Knife, Serrated or Plain Edge
Tatang is a Tagalog term of address reserved for only the most feared and
respected martial artists. In honor of this proud warrior tradition, we have
made a knife that distills the savage cutting power of the traditional Filipino
barong into a smaller, more versatile package. When gripped at the rear of the
pistol-grip-style thermoplastic rubber handle, the weight-forward balance of
the Tatang's black epoxy-coated 1085C tool-steel blade gives it tremendous reach
and chopping power. Choking up on the integral subhilt shifts the balance back
for more controlled cutting, trapping, and backcutting with the sharpened false
edge. Designed by edged-weapons expert Michael Janich, this incredible knife
comes complete with a reinforced ballistic nylon sheath.
