Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto

The Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto—“The Boss” in Zulu—embodies strength, precision, and innovation. More than a tool, it is a statement piece built on uncompromising design and craftsmanship.

At its core is the Reeve Integral Lock. This refined frame lock delivers rock-solid security every time the blade is deployed. It gives the user absolute confidence, whether tackling everyday jobs or demanding fieldwork.

The CPM S45VN Tanto blade is hollow-ground and heat-treated to 61–62 RC. This steel offers toughness, edge retention, and easy sharpening. The result is a razor-sharp edge that resists wear while remaining dependable over years of use.

Every detail reflects precision engineering. The pivot and lock tolerances ensure smooth deployment and long-lasting stability. Paired with the 6Al4V titanium handle, the Umnumzaan provides ergonomic comfort and a sure grip. Even during extended use, it reduces hand fatigue and feels secure in the palm.

Practicality is built into the design. A discreet glass breaker at the handle’s end makes it useful in emergencies, expanding its role beyond cutting tasks. Though it folds neatly for pocket carry, the knife delivers the strength and reliability of a fixed blade. This combination of power and convenience sets it apart from typical folders.

The Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto is more than a knife—it is a benchmark of modern design. Strong, versatile, and elegant, it serves professionals, collectors, and enthusiasts with equal success. Its blend of rugged durability and refined style ensures it stands as an icon in the world of high-performance knives.
