Yep, that's not a "modernized" anything (well, perhaps the blade material).
As John points out most people have been sold a bill of goods and lead to believe that the broken tip looking thing called a "tango" isn't a traditional tanto at all, but is a clever marketing campaign by Cold Steel. Sadly it is also a rip off of one of the great custom knife makers, Bob Lum, that CS didn't attribute (no surprise there in their early days).
As to the knife in question, it is the Hissatsu's big brother and it is an effective defensive knife design that would work. OTOH, you need a knife in the woods and adding another that won't work for general camp choirs is adding weight you don't need. I advise you pick a good 3-4" fixed blade camp knife that you know how to keep sharp and carry it instead. You'll use it a lot more and will be much more familiar with it.
