[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4353184, member: 46104"] Toughness depends upon steel and heat treat. The one I trust to open (OTFs VERY sensitive to dust or even excess lube) and stay locked open (liner locks buckle under loads), and not break during use is Old Yaller, and is the one which gets daily carry. [URL='https://postimg.cc/gxCLC7Wq'][IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/s2XPhFH8/20241031-092506.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Try this with the fancy tacticals and see what it gets you. [URL='https://postimages.org/'][IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/mr5Y3d0r/file-2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Can't say I care for either of the OP blade choices, the spear point far too fragile, and the tanto critiques spot on. The tanto is good for stabbing, but in an OTF, it had better be a good locking mechanism and hard handle material to back the lock. Of the two, I'd pick the tanto blade for toughness and utility, the spearpoint essentially useless. [/QUOTE]
