@dhry I just picked this up for $17. Kershaw Shuffle II - Tanto

@Ronnie Nice handle! I generally go for drop point straight blades, like the EDC one I have or the Kizer Militaw. I also pretty much have a minimum blade length of at least 3.5", don't really have much use for a short blade (already have enough of those for boxcutting). I have an alternate potential purpose for EDC.

Tantos absolutely suck for sharpening though..

@dhry I need it mostly for box cutting and cutting tape. We will see if I like it. The price was good.

@Ronnie Admittedly regular tantos like this ARE excellent for box cutting. Just bad for sharpening with the tools *I* have due to the miniscule edge on the tanto part. I think it would be a lot easier on a whetstone. I should learn to use mine one day. First time I tried them I blunted the christ out of my knife despite being super careful and just got the shits.
