Tiger Claw Tanto (Chaos Twist Damascus) SOLD OUT
This is my latest model based on the Japanese design style of their swords and knives. It is a very clean, simple and elegant design that allows the materials, grinds, and finishes to speak louder. I have christened these the “Tiger Claw Tantos” because I was inspired by a Japanese style painting of a Bengal Tiger. Throughout the knife you can see this come through. I have engraved a tiger stripe finger texture on the spine and a little tiger paw on the spine as well. The knife comes with a medallion/challenge token with the Tiger on one side and the knife on the other to have as part of your collection.
This tanto is forged from 80CrV2 and 15N20 chaos twist Damascus and has a contrast etch to bring out the pattern. The handle is Ironwood burl (that matches the Damascus quite well) pinned with peened nickel silver pins. This knife will come with a handmade leather pocket sheath with an ulticlip to keep it at the top of the pocket.
*Please Allow for up to 3 business days before shipping. The knife may ship sooner but we are a small operation (my wife and I) and can’t always compete with big corporation shipping speeds.
