These blades feature a durable tip and are easily recognizable due to the spine which angles down sharply to the blade belly which is in stark contrast to the Tanto which angles up sharply to the spine. The tip of the knife which would normally taper off allows for extra material which is what allows the enhanced tip strength making reverse Tanto's excellent at piercing. The aggressive look and tip strength have made this a very popular knife for both combat and tactical situations.
