Spear point vs Tanto for OTF

[adamsredlines]

Looking at an OTF.
I like the looks of Tanto, but have no practical justification for it otherwise. I think Tanto is better for piercing tough materials, but I'm not sure how strong actions on OTFs are for that type of application (or that I'd even do that anyways).

Is one arguably better than the other for daily use?

I blame Chazroh

In my experience, the flat lines on the Tanto are not ideal for daily knife tasks. The edge where it angles up from the flat belly sees 90% of the action and it goes dull quickly at that point only. After repeated sharpening it looses its hard angles. The tanto definitely looks cool, but I won’t ever have one that I plan to use for daily knife stuff.
