Tanto Style Utility Knife with Wood Handle and Flared Steel Guard

A compact tanto style utility knife featuring a flared steel guard, brass pins, and a rich wood handle, ideal for everyday carry and outdoor tasks.

An Angular Blade Built for Utility

Standard drop-point blades handle general cutting well, but a tanto-style edge brings extra strength to the tip for tougher tasks like prying or piercing thicker material. This utility knife pairs that angular blade shape with a rich wood handle for a piece that feels as good as it performs.

Blade Geometry

The blade follows a traditional tanto profile, with a flat grind leading to a strong, angled tip. A flared steel guard sits between the blade and handle, adding both a visual detail and a safeguard against the hand slipping forward during use.

Handle Comfort

The handle is shaped from rich, dense wood, secured with brass pins along its length. A lanyard hole at the base allows the knife to be attached to a pack or belt loop for quick access during outdoor tasks.

What Makes This Knife Stand Out

• Tanto-style blade profile – Adds extra tip strength for tougher utility tasks.
• Flared steel guard – Provides a visual detail and added hand protection during use.
• Rich wood handle – Offers a comfortable, secure grip with a warm natural finish.
• Brass pin construction – Adds durability and a clean, finished look.
• Compact, full-tang build – Makes the knife practical for everyday carry.
