A gorgeous Damascus tanto blade with seven holes cut out along the spine and ridges cut into the spine of the blade. What’s left is a deviously beautiful and dangerous looking blade. The zinc alloy handle is a muted, matte black which makes the gold stainless steel hardware impossible to ignore. The Dipping in Gold Damascus Tanto Automatic Out the Front Knife is an automatic knife falling into the category of out the front which describes how the blade deploys. The blade is completely concealed within the handle when retracted and at the flip of a switch the blade springs out of the top of the handle. The switch to deploy the knife is located on the side of the handle so you can easily deploy it with your thumb. The Dipping in Gold Damascus Tanto Automatic Out the Front Knife also comes with its own black nylon sheath that’s outfitted with a belt loop.
