The Bushido Damascus Tanto Knife Kit delivers a sleek, compact take on the classic Japanese tanto, crafted with precision in the USA. Built from carbon steel damascus with a hollow-ground finish, this fixed blade knife blank is ideal for makers seeking a refined yet carry-friendly profile. Whether you're crafting a personal EDC knife or adding a distinctive build to your custom lineup, the Bushido's striking geometry and steel composition make it a standout.
With a blade length of 3.0 inches and an overall length of 7.312 inches, this scaled-down tanto design is easy to handle without compromising visual appeal or strength. The blade is ground on both sides and measures 0.825 inches wide, delivering clean lines and piercing capability. Three 0.156 inch through-holes in the tang offer solid handle-mounting options with included stainless steel pinstock. This platform is also compatible with modified hardware setups for makers who prefer threaded fasteners.
