Recommendation for Tanto knife <$150 (including fees and taxes) (lemm.ee)

Been thinking of getting my first nice knife. I currently rock the Ontario Rat 1, really it because it's a nice beater and has a serrated side. I don't think nice tanto knives have serrated side but I'm willing to compromise since they look so nice.

What's leading you to get a tanto? I find them to be frustrating to work with, not knocking you just generally curious.

I'm not a knife nerd, but my friend makes knives and his latest "nice knife" purchase was a benchmade; that thing is fucking solid. Not sure exactly which one but it's one of the CPM blades.

It looks cool and I hear you get a nice strong tip with tanto, I want to be able to use it to pry and stuff which would be nice. The benchmade tanto looks a bit over my budget.

For prying you a screwdriver, if you want a versatile blade type then I strongly recommend a sheepsfoot tanto.

Looks kinda like a reverse tanto. I don't see how this is versatile. My rat 1 looks to be more versatile than that.
