Handmade Damascus Steel Tanto Knife – 9.5" Buffalo Horn Handle

This expertly crafted tanto knife features a 9.5-inch overall length, combining a multi-layer Damascus steel blade with a robust buffalo horn handle. Its compound bevel tanto blade design offers exceptional strength and sharpness for reliable use.

• 9.5 inches overall length ensures a balanced and manageable size for both precision tasks and general use
• 4-inch Damascus steel blade crafted from layered high-carbon alloy for superior edge retention and durability
• 4.5-inch buffalo horn handle providing a natural yet sturdy grip with unique grain patterns
• 7.4 ounces weight offering a solid feel without sacrificing maneuverability
• Included leather sheath for safe storage and convenient transport

Compared to typical tanto knives, this model excels through its use of a compound bevel geometry that enhances both slicing efficiency and tip strength, surpassing many standard designs. The full tang construction further boosts durability, while the buffalo horn handle adds a distinctive aesthetic and tactile advantage over synthetic alternatives.

Advanced Blade Design and Material Benefits

The compound bevel tanto blade employs two precise grind angles, optimizing it for slicing along the main edge and reinforced piercing at the tip. This dual bevel approach results in a tip that resists breakage under demanding conditions, unlike conventional single bevel blades. The Damascus steel construction layers high-carbon alloys to produce a blade that maintains sharpness longer while offering striking visual patterns unique to each knife.

Exceptional Handle Craftsmanship

The buffalo horn handle is prized for its density and natural beauty, featuring subtle variations in grain and coloration that make each knife one of a kind. Beyond aesthetics, this material provides a comfortable, secure hold that performs well in diverse environments, from outdoor activities to detailed cutting tasks.
