That's a beautiful blade there.

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between a traditional tanto tip and an "Americanized tanto tip"?

In the pictures it appears the tip is thicker, more of a chisel-type tip, on the Americanized blade but I've not had a chance to view this style blade in person.
