The Lucha Tanto is a compact, American-made Damascus knife kit built for makers who want strength, style, and precision in a small personal carry design. Forged from high-performance carbon steels and folded into a 416-layer Damascus pattern, this fixed blade blank delivers both performance and eye-catching appeal. The blade is hollow-ground on both sides and arrives heat treated, ready for finishing and handle installation.
Measuring 3.00 inches in blade length and 7.00 inches overall, this slim-profile tanto is built for speed and concealability—ideal for everyday carry or display as a custom collector’s piece. The tang features two 0.156 inch through-holes, perfect for standard stainless pinstock (included). These holes can be enlarged for custom pin sizes or adapted for threaded fasteners depending on your handle design.
Whether you prefer rugged grip scales or polished presentation materials, the Lucha Tanto provides a clean and ready platform for your next knife build. Made in the USA and crafted to perform, it’s a go-to choice for craftsmen who demand a compact, dependable blade.
