ABOUT THE KNIFE

Description

Traditional Tanto is based on the traditional Japanese kanmuri-otoshi shape. We forged the blade from 200-layer carbon CuMai Damascus – a K720 core between two layers of 100-layer Damascus and copper layers whose pattern makes every piece one of a kind. The handle and the sheath are ebony.

The knife won two awards at the Brno Knife Show 2024 – recognition from the official committee and the visitors’ choice.
