Knife:
The 2025 US Tanto has by far the sharpest blade style in the collection. With a focus on performing best when stabbing, the US Tanto connects an EDC design with a tactical feel. The US Tanto also features a unique finger groove between the blade and handle to keep your fingers locked on the handle and to prevent them from making contact with the blade. This is one of the longest running blade styles with Shed Knives and 7 versions have been released since 2019, making the 2025 US Tanto the most recent & updated version to date.
Handle:
The G-10 scales (handle) can be replaced/removed with a 3/32" allen head wrench. The three pairs of handle screws are coated in a matte black oxide finish to match with the black Kydex sheath and Midnight Black G-10 incorporated with each 2025 Model.
Sheath:
All 2025 models come with a black Kydex sheath. The Kydex sheath allows the knife to click into place and stay there without the worry of your knife cutting through the sheath (which happens with leather and Nylon) or fall out. Kydex also stays extremely stable across the majority of environments you may face, unlike leather sheaths.
Additional Features:
The 2025 Shed Knives Collection features a few similarities across the entire collection. The 1/8" jimping on the spine of the knife is a nice addition to help you maintain a firm grip on the knife for better control. The sharpening choil also helps you with sharpening as it allows for a distinct separation between the blade and handle. This also aids in sharpening completely to the heel of the blade. The lanyard hole design can be used to attach the knife to rope, line, D-rings, gear, and more. The soft corners of the lanyard hole allow rope to lock in while the triangular design limits sharp angles that could cut rope.
