The Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto blade tactical folding knife, nicknamed the Zaan, is ideal for hunters, service members, and outdoorsmen. In Zulu the word umnumzaan means 'the boss'.

This handy knife has a tanto blade shape with hollow grinds that are razor-sharp. While closed, the knife is 4.77 inches long. The blade itself measures 3.675 inches and is made out of stonewashed stainless CPM MagnaCut steel. On the Rockwell hardness scale, the steel used in this knife is HRC 63-64. This American-made steel has superior edge retention and is tough as well, resulting in fewer instances of chipping. The top of the blade spine has a thumb rest with machined jimping that provides the user with a solid grip.

The CRK Umnumzaan folding knife has high pivot strength. The knife has a lockbar stabilizer mechanism, with the logo machined on the face, that prevents over-extension of the framelock bar. The knife also features a ceramic lock bar interface for increased lock life over a standard titanium frame lock. The ceramic ball is much harder than titanium and allows for much less wear and lock movement over a lifetime of use. The ceramic ball also serves as a detent mechanism to keep the knife in a closed position. It's a solid mechanism that increases the safety and lifetime of carrying this knife. The frame lock bar is finished nicely with a machined groove that allows for increased purchase on the lock bar when closing with your thumb.

The handle of the knife is made out of aerospace-grade titanium, which is a lightweight material. In comparison to other knives of a similar size, this innovative knife is an extremely reasonable weight, weighing in at 5 oz. When closed the knife has an extension of the blade that functions as a glass breaker.

With permission, Chris Reeve designed this tactical folding knife utilizing Grant and Gavin Hawk's shock absorber. The shock absorber helps extend the knife's life as well as making it more comfortable to use.

Another reason the Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto tactical folding knife lasts longer is it has perforated phosphor bronze washers that decrease friction and hold onto lubrication longer. The knife is completed with a black cord lanyard attached to the rear spacer of the knife.

If you order the Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto blade tactical folding knife from KnifeArt, you will enjoy free shipping on a U.S. order. We will also process and ship your order within one business day, so you can receive your new knife as quickly as possible.

5  Fantastic In Almost Every Way, December 23, 2022Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto Folding Knife (One Per Household)
Posted By: Aaeon - verified customer

There isn't much I can say that most haven't. It's an incredible hollow ground blade, with great scales, smooth action, tools for disassembly, and a lifetime warranty. Only small change I would make is to have a slight contour on the flat scales. Would take this to the next level of Yes

The Umnumzaan is awesome. I love it with the tanto blade. KnifeArt's service was incredible. The knife shipped the same day as my order and was in my mailbox two days later. Overall I'm thrilled with both the knife and the service!

5  Umnumzaan Tanto, July 10, 2022Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto Folding Knife
Posted By: Braden - verified customer

Was finally able to secure one of these and I am very impressed with it. What a beast of a knife, razor sharp. Knife art doesn’t play around with fulfilling orders either. My order was shipped same day and received sooner than expected. Knife art is the only place that I’ve been able to secure certain Chris Reeve knives, this definitely won’t be my last purchase here. Thank you knife art.

Posted By: Kim Ingemann - verified customer

Ordered a umnumzaan tanto and had it shipped to Denmark. I’m always a bit nervous with those transatlantic purchases, but everything went down perfectly.
I can really recommend Europeans dealing with Knifeart.com - it is not the last time I did.
A big thanks goes to Larry for great customer service.

5  Awesome Knife, February 10, 2017Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tanto Tactical Folding Knife
Posted By: Steve Kushman - verified customer
2 people found this review helpful

Saw this knife come up in an email from Knife Art at the beginning of December 2016. As soon as I saw the CRK Umnumzaan with its cool style I knew I wanted it. I don't know why I hadn't seen the knife before. I am not usually into tanto sytle blades but this one was absolute class and style. As usual, Knife Art shipped my order right out and I received in a few days. The fit/finish, blade style,blade grind, and overall operation of this knife is excellent. Just can't get over how well the blade was executed in terms of the stunning look, blade machining, grind, and exreme sharpness. Hard to tell this knife from a custom build.
