A reverse tanto blade, as featured on the Remette Kestrel RTPO-E, angles the spine down toward the tip instead of the edge, creating a strong, acute point backed by plenty of steel. It excels at everyday piercing, detail cutting, and controlled slicing. Buy at Going Gear, authorized Remette dealer.
