What would be the disadvantages of a tanto blade? I only chose that because it's the only sand/tan color they have
edit: I think I'll go with the full size griptilian. The mini looks small as fuuu

It is pretty similar to the Military, a little shorter blade length and overall length but it has a great feel to it. I have larger hands but the handle design and jimping on the thumb ramp really lock it in nicely.
The blade steel is 8Cr13 MoV. I've had great luck with it for an EDC blade, holds an edge really well and for the price I cant complain. I prefer VG-10 or S30V steel, but thats a totally different price point.-BMBC underground-

this is mostly for semperparatus but all input welcome. How do the ontario ranger knives compare to the esee knives? Basically the same knife? Looks like ontario may have manufactured for esee previously?
Anyhow the one i'm looking at is here:

Originally Rat Cutlery now ESEE were doing designs/knives for Ontario then had a falling out due to RC wanting to do higher quality production, which means more costs and time to ensure quality.
They left Ontario then became Rat Cutlery now ESEE, ESEE knives are better quality IMO.-BMBC underground-
