MNTTA2: TA-2 Seymour

Mantis Knives

A long-loved design returns to Mantis' production lineup! This revived item was extremely popular in the past and Mantis has listened to the knife community by bringing back some of their classic designs.

The TA-2 features 420HC stainless steel for some great edge retention and overall strength. The black blade and tang work well to hide reflections and provide a sleek appearance to this interesting fixed blade. The handle features an excellent handle shape which, with the assistance of the tire treads, locks this blade into your hand in an extremely comfortable manner.

Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Sheath/Scabbard
Good all around
I'm very impressed with the quality per cost ratio with this knife. Edge: Came with a sharp edge ready to use (no changes to the bevel needed). Ergo: Carried through the woods working on putting up a deer stand and the edges are a little sharp on the handle for non gloved hands (bull nose on the metal sticking out would work nice, future mod)Sheathe: For a plastic sheathe it's alright. Clip is coming loose after probably 2-3 weeks use; after tightening the bolts, it seems to be fine. Would be nice to cost maybe $5 more to get a cooler one to be honest. The lock of the sheathe is adequate. Haven't had any issues but it could get looser over time.Durability: Haven't used enough to really tell. Keeping in mind I got it on sale for mid twenties I've been impressed this far. The rubber handles make it easy to cleanAll in all, great quality for under 30 dollars. I've got a Benchmade DejaVu 4" and the edge is nowhere near to the benchmade, but that AUS-8 is some pretty awesome metal. Cold Steel uses the same. I would buy as a workhorse and have my other one as my main knife

Second Kind of Cool
This is my first Mantis knife and I'm impressed with the quality. This knife feels good in the hands and I really like the feel of the rubber grips. Definitely the most eccentric knife in my collection.

Great Backup Knife & Priced Right
Picked up this knife at SMKW(smokey mtn.knife wrks)because i liked the looks,and $.and i needed(wanted) a backup to my Esee 6.i was gonna get an Esee 3,but didnt want to pay $100.I'm certantly glad i got the mantis instead,saved myself well over $50,and this little knife is excellent for a backup.I do chores i dont want to put my Esee thru.If i accidentally messed this one up,no big deal,though if you take reasonable care of this knife your fine,will last decades.sharp,compact,great feel,resharpens good(Recurved blades can be awkward at first).but at this price,buy it,u wont b disappointed
