Designed to bring the modern together with the traditional, this tanto is thin, convex ground to near zero, and with the balance point right at the front of the handle scales, is blazing fast in the hand. This is not a brute force momentum cutter, but a speed slicer that relies on precision and finesse. Would be an exceptionally fun addition to any martial blade training session.

Stainless, slim and light enough to carry every day, in those in jurisdictions allowing large knife carry.

Specs
Steel: 3/32" AEB-L, RC 62-63

Geometry: Saber-vex grind to near zero for extreme slicing ability, 20° per side microbevel, and .008" behind the edge at the heel increasing to .016" at the tip.

Overall Length: 12"
Blade Length: 7 1/4"

Weight: 7.7 oz

Handle: Skeletonized tang, green and black layered G10 scales, hollowed to reduce weight, contoured and hand textured to increase grip and reduce weight even further. Red linen Micarta liners to increase grip diameter without adding a lot of weight. Carbon fiber tubes, and strong waterproof construction.

Sheath: Black Boltaron, to be made per buyer's choice of taco or pancake. Will be compatible with G-Clips, and large and small Tek Loks. Please specify if other clips need to be accommodated.


SOLD, via PayPal G&S to the email address I will provide in private messaging (not the one in my sig). Includes tracked and insured expedited North America shipping. I will ship internationally at buyer's expense. First "I'll take it" gets priority.

Thanks for looking!

Man, that is a whole lot of knife for the price!!

Lots of features and performance oriented.

AEBL is my favorite Stainless as well. I've had a chance to use it and absolutely love the strength to performance balance.

It is so tough, running at that hardness boosts the edge retention to near cpm154 levels, and it is still multiple times as tough as other stainless steels.

Much much easier to touch up and keep sharp (in my exoerience).
 
Thank you! And ... thank you!
