Tanto Blades

Building A Custom Japanese Tanto Knife

A quality blade is only one part of a successful knife build. Choosing the right handle materials, and pins allows you to create a knife that performs well and reflects your own craftsmanship. When selecting a Japanese Tanto blade, consider the intended use of the finished knife, preferred blade length, and material characteristics. Larger profiles are often suited to outdoor and field knives, while smaller Tanto designs are popular for everyday carry and utility applications.

To complete your project, pair your blade with a premium knife handle, knife pins and other fasteners, blade guards and other knife making supplies.
