Handmade Japanese Tanto Knife, 12 Inch J2 Steel Blade with Wood Handle and Leather Sheath, Custom Collectible Knife - Gifts For Men

This handmade tanto knife brings the clean, angular profile of a traditional Japanese tanto blade together with a substantial J2 steel edge and a smooth hardwood handle. At a full 12 inches overall with a 7-inch blade, it has real presence in the hand and on display, striking a balance between a functional-looking working knife and a collectible showpiece. Each knife comes with its own leather sheath, so it is ready to store, carry, or display the moment it arrives. ✦ Product Highlights J2 Steel Tanto Blade — The 7-inch blade follows the classic tanto profile: a straight edge that sweeps up into an angular, reinforced tip rather than a curved point. This geometry is what gives tanto-style blades their distinctive silhouette and sturdy tip strength. Hardwood Handle — A smooth, dark hardwood handle runs 5 inches long, finished with metal spacer rings near the guard for a clean, layered look where wood meets steel. Full Tang Visual Presence — The blade's spine transitions directly into a squared-off shoulder at the handle, giving the knife a solid, one-piece feel typical of well-built fixed blades. Included Leather Sheath — A leather sheath is included for safe storage and easy carrying, protecting both the blade edge and whoever is handling it. Balanced Proportions — At 12 inches overall with a 5-inch handle and 7-inch blade, the knife sits comfortably in the hand without feeling front-heavy or awkward. ✦ Product Specifications Overall Length: 12.0 inches Blade Length: 7.0 inches Handle Length: 5.0 inches Blade Material: J2 Steel Handle Material: Hard Wood Sheath: Leather Sheath ✦ Materials J2 Steel — Used for the blade.
