What about the m4? With a regrind like that won't the blade start to stain real quickly? I know the m4 that I have has stained easily.
Have you had to resharpen that tanto yet? Let me know how that works out for you. Unless you have the money to send it in every time it gets dull or a nick in it. About the M4, keep a coating of oil on it if you're worried about corrosion.

True ......Tantos arent hard to sharpen , just sharpen it as two different blades , meanning.....
Sharpen the Tanto and main blade separately.

I know how to do it, it's just a pain in the ass.

Thank you DJ. If I ever bought a Tanto knife, the first thing it would get would be a Krein Regrind. The first time I saw your picture of it, I fell in love. I wish I had the machinery to do it myself. Pure genius.

I've never seen the practicality of the tanto grind. Yeah, it looks cool, but that's about it.

Thanks for the review The 760 is a good looking knife and looks like BM did well on this model, they used top shelf materials and a erogonomic design as well... When I first got into knives I was not that into the tanto style blade until my dad picked up a Model 9100 (his first benchmade) which lead me to my first BM purchase the 710 Model.. The more time I spent with his 9100 the more I learned to respect the tanto in its own way... Now I have a 9100 and a CQC7 inbound..
