The Sniper Bladeworks AP Tanto is a compact folding knife developed for practical everyday carry when a full-size folder would be unnecessarily bulky. This exact configuration pairs an OD green G10 handle scale with a satin-finished S35VN stainless steel blade, creating a field-ready appearance while keeping the knife suitable for routine use around the home, workshop, campsite, or outdoors. Its American tanto blade incorporates a pronounced point and angular cutting profile that work well for controlled utility cuts, opening packages, trimming cord, and handling other common cutting chores. A plain cutting edge makes the blade straightforward to maintain and provides uninterrupted contact with the material being cut. The folder is built around a titanium frame-lock mechanism that secures the blade in the open position without adding a separate locking component to the handle. A thumb stud provides direct manual deployment, while the pocket clip supports tip-up carry for convenient access. Sniper Bladeworks uses its distinctive pistol-grip-inspired handle geometry on the AP Tanto, giving the compact knife a recognizable profile and helping the user maintain a controlled hold despite its abbreviated dimensions. At approximately 5.25 inches overall when open and 2.97 inches closed, the AP Tanto is sized for a pocket, compact everyday-carry kit, tackle bag, or other space where a larger knife may be cumbersome. The blade measures approximately 2.29 inches, providing a useful working edge while preserving the model’s compact character. Its published weight of 2.65 ounces further supports comfortable daily carry without placing excessive weight in a pocket. Designed by Lance Abernathy, the AP Tanto condenses the visual character and functional construction associated with larger Sniper Bladeworks folders into a smaller, easier-to-carry format for customers who prefer a sturdy manual knife with premium blade steel, a secure frame lock, and a distinctive tanto profile.
