Yours lasted that long? I had one of their rubber-handle knives. Crapton B or whatever. It was loose within a few years of just handling.
the first basic one that came outI think most would agree 30 years is a good run.
what exactly is the tanto in question, they make a few.
i would like a bladesmith to put on a wood handleParacord, then dip in Flex seal. Or order a new knife, switch handles. What's the difference between your version and the current version?
Which is better - Flex Seal,
or that stuff you buy in the hardware store
for dipping the handles of pliers, etc?
I've never handled Flex Seal, but it does so much ( )
that I have to wonder if it's a better handle dip
than the decades old stuff that's hawked purely as a handle dip and nothing else.
The handle-dip stuff I've seen comes in a small varnish sized can, right?‘not this stuff, right?
If the average user clogs the nozzle after one use,You’re talking about plastidip
It was first that small can, but has gotten really popular since it started to come in spray cans
I literally, just used this yesterday and today:Which is better - Flex Seal,

Putting a wood handle on it might sound easy and may very well be. It depends if your tang has at least one hole that can be used for a pin. If it doesn’t, then good luck with that. I can almost guarantee you that putting a new handle out of some decent (aka stabilized) wood on there will set you back what a new cold steel tanto cost If the blade smith is worth his salt.
get a Busse, Fallkniven, or similar high end knife. You’ll pass that on to your grandkids.
similar but different

Yes they do.Don’t they have a lifetime warranty?

Good idea. I have a set of their steak knives and kitchen carving set and a few steak knives are now missing chunks of rubber. I've dreaded packing them securely and shipping them back so they just sit. Time to take pictures and contact them.Exactly. Rubber handled knives never last long term.
I have a kitchen knife that has a lifetime warranty with a rubber handle. When the handle starts coming apart I email the a few pictures and they send me a new knife.

These are what we use for kitchen duty. Bought 4 of each during a CS closeout sale about 10 years ago. These 3 get daily use. The other 5 are kept in reserve. Many trips through the dishwasher, but still look and perform great.Exactly. Rubber handled knives never last long term.
