Kimura Handmade Damascus Steel Warrior Tanto Knife - Black Micarta

Kimura Handmade Damascus Steel Tanto – Warrior’s Legacy

Inspired by the legendary samurai Kimura Shigenari, this handmade tanto pays tribute to a warrior who fought with honor and died with grace. While not a traditional Japanese tanto, the Kimura Handmade Damascus Steel Knife embodies the spirit of close-quarters combat with a powerful modern interpretation.

Featuring a razor-sharp tanto-style blade forged from 128 layers of 1095 & 15N20 Damascus steel, this blade delivers exceptional strength, edge retention, and cutting performance. The aggressive twist pattern across the blade reflects centuries of forging tradition, while the robust sawback spine and deep finger grooves offer superior grip and control in tactical scenarios.

Modern Strength Meets Warrior Tradition

With a tanto tip built for penetration and a saw-edged spine for rugged cutting utility, this blade isn't just for display—it's battle-ready. The micarta handle ensures a secure grip even in wet or high-pressure conditions, making it a powerful tool for both collectors and tactical users.

Handmade & One of a Kind

Each Kimura Tanto is individually hand-forged, resulting in natural variations in steel pattern, handle grain, and sheath design. Your blade will be unique, yet crafted with the same dedication to quality and precision.

Sheath Notice

A custom-fit, hand-stitched leather sheath is included, though colors and details may vary. Every sheath is crafted to provide durability, protection, and quick access.

Blade Care Instructions

• Hand wash only with soap and hot water.
• Dry completely after each use.
• Oil the blade regularly to prevent rust (1095 is high-carbon steel).
