Description

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. J2 is a tool steel valued for its toughness and ability to take and hold an edge. Hard Wood — Used for the handle, giving a solid, natural grip with a smooth finish. Leather — Used for the included sheath, offering a traditional look and reliable blade protection. ✦ Ideal For Knife Collections — A distinctive addition to any tanto or Japanese-style knife collection, with clean lines that stand apart from typical hunting or chef knife shapes. Display — Looks striking laid flat on a shelf, in a display case, or mounted with a knife display stand. Everyday Carry & Outdoor Use — The fixed-blade tanto design suits general utility and outdoor tasks. (Seller confirmation required on recommended use — see Important Note below.) Gifting — A memorable, substantial gift for anyone with an interest in Japanese-style blades or knife collecting. ✦ Gift Occasions Father's Day — A lasting, practical gift for a dad who appreciates well-made tools. Birthdays — Stands out for the person who already has "everything." Groomsman Gifts — A distinctive, masculine keepsake for a wedding party. Christmas — A memorable present that doesn't feel generic. ✦ Package Includes 1 × Tanto Knife 1 × Leather Sheath ✦ Care Instructions Wipe the blade dry with a soft cloth after handling or use to prevent moisture buildup. Apply a light coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically to protect against corrosion. Keep the leather sheath dry; condition occasionally with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Store the blade inside its sheath when not in use.
