Tanto Blade Knives

The Tanto blade is a blade that rose to the forefront of the knife community in the 70s and 80s. It is inspired by old Japanese craftsmanship and design, and is renowned for it’s strength, power, unique aesthetics, quality materials and ease with which it can be sharpened. The Tanto Blade is an immensely powerful blade that has the capability of puncturing very hard materials with minimal risk of snapping or breaking the blade. Due to the strong structural integrity of the blade, it can be used for hacking, scraping and prying, which you might be scared to do with other blades. This is all made possible by the Tanto Blade’s high point and flat grind. If you are looking for a blade that excels in a specific function of piercing hard materials, the Tanto Blade might be the blade for you.

The Tanto blade knife – with its sharply angled tip and robust spine – traces its roots to Japanese swordsmanship and shines in piercing, tactical and everyday carry roles. Its straight, chisel-like point delivers unmatched strength where you need it most.

Key Features of Tanto Blade Knives

  • Reinforced Tip: Thick, angular point excels at piercing tough materials without snapping.

  • Blade Geometry: Flat or hollow grinds maximise strength along the blade’s leading edge.

  • Steel & Construction: Premium high-carbon or stainless steels (e.g., D2, S35VN) paired with full-tang design for durability.

  • Ergonomic Handles: Textured G-10, Micarta or Kraton grips ensure secure control under heavy use.

Why Choose a Tanto Knife?

  • Tactical Performance: Ideal for breaching, cord-cutting and precision punctures.

  • Everyday Utility: Piercing, slicing and general utility tasks handled with ease.

  • Durability: Built to withstand extreme leverage and impact.

How to Pick Your Tanto

  1. Blade Length & Thickness: Balance piercing power with carry comfort.

  2. Point Grind: Select flat or chisel grind based on sharpening preference and strength needs.
