The Big I Design Lookout Tanto is a proud expression of American craftsmanship, designed, manufactured, and finished in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Named after Lookout Mountain, the most recognizable landmark in the Chattanooga area, this compact fixed blade reflects the strength, resilience, and hardworking character of its Tennessee roots. Built with premium materials and precision machining, it's an everyday carry knife that showcases what American manufacturing can achieve.
Its 2.2-inch tanto blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, outstanding toughness, and superior corrosion resistance. The rugged stonewashed finish helps disguise the signs of hard use while giving the blade a clean, utilitarian appearance that's ready for years of dependable service. The reinforced tanto point provides excellent piercing strength and precise control, making it equally capable for detailed work and demanding utility cuts.
Full tang construction gives the Lookout Tanto outstanding durability and balance, while the precision-machined gray titanium handle scales offer an exceptional combination of lightweight strength and lasting performance. Titanium's natural corrosion resistance and comfortable feel make it an outstanding choice for everyday carry, and the custom-machined titanium hardware completes the knife with a refined, all-American fit and finish. Measuring 6.2 inches overall and weighing just 3 ounces, it's easy to carry without compromising capability. The included molded Kydex sheath features an ambidextrous deep-carry titanium pocket clip, keeping the knife secure, discreet, and always within reach.
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.
