Not for me, thanks, especially as a PM2.

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
I like the concept too, for me the blade to handle ratio has to be right...that grind almost would warrant an ever so slightly shorter handle
Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
Big fat No. Can't beat the original PM2 blade geometry.

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
The PM 2 Tanto looks awesome. I was thinking of an American Tanto Delica and Endura to go along with the work themed Wharncliffed blades, the American Tanto can be an EDC themed blade. I like it better in the PM series, a Para 3 Lightweight Tanto would be an awesome EDC.

I'll take the gelato over a tanto PM2!
When I was in Italy I learned to eat gelato the Italian way instead of the boring American way (I visited the same Gelateria every day and had been getting two scoops of the same flavor and no cream), eventually the server informed me that the correct method is to choose two different flavors and accept the offered cream on top... the "cream" is the most amazingly dense whipped cream you can imagine and there were so many great flavors of gelato and sorbetto available (different every day) that having only one was foolish. Even the best American ice cream pales in comparison.
I would lay money on a tanto bladed PM2 being a solid sales performer though.

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
Maybe it is just me, but I didn't like the way that tanto PM2 looked. I'll pass.
Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
I say; let it come! Apocalyptic look and CPM3V would be awesome. No FRN but G-10. All black with stonewashed blade.
Did you write that down Sal? :cool:

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
Interesting, but of little use to me. So I'll have to pass on this one.
Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
Yes. Build it!
Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
Not my cup of tea but I hope Spyderco makes it for those that want it.
Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
love the look of it, I'm normally not a tanto guy but that looks slick. I hope it has the japanese style tanto blade shape like the lum tanto.

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
I was thinking the same thing either the MIlitary or Paramilitary2 would be good in a Japanese style Tanto the American tanto is too Angular to pull it off.
Awww heck who am I kidding make both! :)

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
Not into Tantos, just not a useful blade shape for me. I’d much prefer a Spyderco “Razel”. But it does make sense for them to do it. Along with the idea from the sheepsfoot thread, why not put out some options? I can’t see it costing too much really. All they have to do is a quick cad drawing to check clearances and grind a few blades different and we know there’s ppl who will grab them for use and collections even if they have a bit higher price tag.
If you're wielding the sharpest tool in the shed, who's going to say that you aren't...?

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
I love the idea! How thin behind the edge do you think they could/would make it?
Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
I love this good idea! lol!, tanto blade in 3v or cru-wear! I'm fine with s30v its still a great steel, just one I'm a little burnt on. But anyways, tanto? YES PLEASE!!

A billion percent correct are you, Cobra. This is the ultimate Pocket Samurai Sword.Liquid Cobra wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 4:15 pmI haven’t had time to watch the video yet but I fully support this Tanto idea. I’ve felt for a long time that there was a hole in Spyderco’s linup with no Tanto blade offering. This is a perfect solution since tanto’s don’t seem to sell very well according to Spyderco. They can just use the para 2 tooling and change the blade grind. If it sells, great. If it doesn’t, it’ll make for one heck of a collectible.
I love it. Please Spyderco make it for sale.
