Final Thoughts
The Armiger 4 Tanto delivers tactical precision and rugged survival capability in a compact, EDC‑sized package. Its steel, sheath versatility, and handle shape punch above its weight—and price. Ideal if you're after a multipurpose blade with punch, not a full-on bushcraft baton. If prolonged woodwork is your goal, upgrade to a beefier model, but for general outdoor or tactical use, this is a sharp pick.
