Kenta Tanto Folder Knife

A tanto blade is quintessential Japanese. The tanto is a dagger and generally has a single or double edged blade. The tanto was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well. This Kenta Damascus Steel Tanto Tactical Folder is a modern, western version of the tanto with a tactical twist. Of course, it is also a folder with a liner lock.

Kenta is derived from Ken, meaning "healthy, strong" and Ta, meaning "thick, big". You will understand when you pick up this knife. The large micarta handle was ergonomically designed with finger grooves for each of your fingers. This provides superior control of the knife, even while wearing gloves. The Damascus steel blade is almost 3mm thick and is 3.75” long. The perfect sized blade for an EDC knife. Top serrations offer a robust cutting surface for rope or small branches.

Made of 1095 and 15n20 steels, the high carbon content of 1095 gives this knife an extremely sharp and durable edge and makes it the ideal choice for a EDC folding knife. The compact blade and large handle gives the user exceptional control. The Kenta can be carried in your pocket with the pocket clip or with the included leather sheath with belt loop.

Please also note that each knife is individually handmade from natural materials, meaning there will be some variation in color, Damascus pattern, and overall look between knives of the same type. The knife you receive will have the same attention to quality and detail as the one pictured, but may differ slightly in appearance. After every use, wash and dry the knife completely and add a little mineral, vegetable or olive oil to the knife to keep it from rusting while in storage.
