Many Emerson knives feature a point style called the "American tanto." This features a distinct secondary edge and secondary point. Could someone from Emerson knives please explain the following:

What do you consider the advantages of this tanto point? Are these advantages exclusive to this design?

What do you consider the disadvantages of the tanto point? Are these disadvantages exclusive to this design?

Why do you feel these advantages outweigh these disadvantages for the role to which these knives are designed? Could you explain that role?

Thank you.
