The **MKM Pocket Tango 1** is a cool fixed blade for everyday use. The Pocket Tango series was designed by none other than David C. Andersen from KnifeCenter. Fans know him from all the online content he creates for KnifeCenter's website and social media. As a result, he is a fount of knowledge. He applied this knowledge when designing the Pocket Tango collection. The result? Impressive fixed-blade knives, both in terms of practically application and aesthetical value, with a nod to traditional knife design.

## MKM Pocket Tango 1 Nessmuk blade

The first thing you notice is that the knife is broader at the tip. This classic shape is what we call a Nessmuk-style blade. This type of knife is mostly used to gut game and prepare food. For this reason, knives with a Nessmuk-style blade are mostly popular amongst hunters or people who love to go camping or hiking.

The blade is made from CPM MagnaCut. It is a stainless type of tool steel. With a comparable toughness and sharpness retention of carbon steels such as CPM-CruWear, CPM-4V and Vanadis 4. The corrosion resistance is also sublime. Better than the popular stainless types of steel such as CPM S110V, CPM S45VN and Böhler M390. Very impressive!

## MKM Pocket Tango 1 handle

The handle is ergonomically designed and feels great in hand. Within the Pocket Tango series, there is a lot of variety in terms of handle materials. From carbon fibre to G10, wood and canvas micarta. All TPF Defense handles are enhanced with a lanyard hole to make sure you can add a piece of paracord.

## MKM Pocket Tango 1 sheath

The MKM Pocket Tango 2 comes with a leather sheath. It is enhanced with a belt loop with a magnetic closure. This ensures that the knife stays in place inside the sheath. But it also enables you to easily carry the sheath on your belt or pocket. The entire sheath will fit into your trouser pocket. You slide the magnetic closure over the edge of your pocket and it will secure itself.

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.
