Design — Kissaki Strength
The tanto’s chisel-like point (kissaki-inspired) offers a robust tip for piercing and controlled straight cuts. A flat section near the tip enhances strength while the edge transitions for daily slicing tasks.
Damascus Edge
Multi-layer Damascus produces a durable, keen edge with natural wave patterning — no two blades share the same ripples.
Rosewood Grip
Hand-shaped rosewood scales provide warmth, traction, and balance, with a comfortable palm swell for precise control.
