The Big I Design Lookout Tanto is a proud example of American craftsmanship, designed, manufactured, and finished in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Named after the iconic Lookout Mountain, the most recognizable landmark in the Chattanooga area, this compact fixed blade reflects the rugged spirit and enduring quality that define its home state. Built with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail, it's an everyday carry knife that celebrates American manufacturing while delivering serious cutting performance.
Its 2.2-inch tanto blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel, one of today's most advanced blade steels, offering outstanding edge retention, exceptional toughness, and impressive corrosion resistance. A rugged stonewashed finish helps conceal the marks of hard use while giving the knife a hardworking appearance that's ready for years of dependable service. The reinforced tanto point excels at piercing, controlled utility cuts, and precision work, making it a versatile companion for everyday tasks.
The full tang construction provides exceptional strength and balance, ensuring confidence with every cut. Smooth DymaLux Walnut handle scales bring a timeless American look to the knife while providing a comfortable, secure grip, and custom-machined titanium hardware adds lightweight strength and premium refinement. Measuring 6.2 inches overall and weighing just 3 ounces, the Lookout Tanto is easy to carry without sacrificing capability. It rides securely in the included molded Kydex sheath, equipped with an ambidextrous deep-carry titanium pocket clip for discreet, convenient everyday carry.
Like the knife itself, Smoky Mountain Knife Works is proudly rooted in Tennessee. The world's best online knife store and the world's largest knife store, SMKW welcomes over 1.5 million visitors to its legendary Great Smoky Mountains showroom every year, making it one of America's premier destinations for knife enthusiasts.
