Following is a description of this Rob Tanto from Jerry Hossom:
"A little knife, just 6.75'' OAL, I call the Rob after my good friend the late Rob Simonich. Rob was one of the best knife designers and maker ever, and I think he would have like this one, even if he did give me crap about my choice of handle material." This is the first Rob, after the prototype was built.
