Description
The Citadel Tanto is a hand-forged Japanese fixed blade knife crafted by artisan smiths using traditional Japanese techniques. The 12cm high-carbon steel blade features a classic tanto profile with a flat grind for exceptional strength. The sculpted rosewood handle gives you an organic, one-of-a-kind grip.
**The Warrior's Companion**
Hold the Citadel Tanto and feel the connection to centuries of Japanese blade tradition. The weight in your hand is purposeful, the tanto geometry resolute — a blade that commands respect whether displayed on a stand or carried in the field.
**Artisan Fire and Hammer**
Each Citadel blade is individually forged by hand — heated in a charcoal forge, shaped under the hammer, and quenched in oil. The rosewood handle is sculpted from a single piece, fitted and pinned with the same care given to a fine instrument.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
