Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

The story

From the samurai's tantō to the modern angular tip

In Japan, the tantō was a short blade worn by samurai alongside their longer swords, and fine old examples are still prized by collectors. Most historical tantō had a gently curving point, not the sharp angle the name suggests today.

The squared, chisel-like tip now sold as a tanto is a Western reinterpretation that became popular in the 1980s, when designers wanted a stronger point for tough piercing work. This folder pairs that modern geometry with an ancient technique: hand-forged Pakistani Damascus, layered and etched, across a 10.5 cm blade, set into a 14 cm black horn handle with a polished brass bolster.

Questions & answers

Size, display and price questions

How should I display a knife collection?

Arrange by size as well as type: largest at the back on a tiered stand, smallest at the front, so every blade stays visible. At 14 cm closed, this tanto belongs on the top tier, opened to show the angular tip, with its wooden box beneath it. Keep the stand away from radiators, which dry out horn.

What is the pocket knife price in Pakistan for this tanto?

It is shown in rupees at the top of this page for visitors in Pakistan, per boxed knife. Gift and outdoor retailers who order more than one pay less per piece; contact us on WhatsApp or by email with the quantity.

Is a 14 cm handle too big for a pocket?

For a trouser pocket it is on the large side, so most owners carry it in a jacket, a bag or a belt pouch. The size pays off in use: the long horn handle gives a full grip for outdoor tasks.

Sharpening

Main edge, front edge, crisp corner: sharpening a tanto

A tanto has two separate edges, the long main edge and the short angled front, and each is sharpened on its own.

  1. Start with the main edge on a 1000 grit stone, holding about 20 degrees and stopping just before the corner.
  2. Turn to the short front edge and sharpen it at the same angle, working from the corner towards the point.
  3. Keep the corner crisp: do not roll the blade around it, or the two bevels will blur into one.
  4. Refine both edges on a fine stone, then strop.
  5. Wipe the 10.5 cm blade with oil, as etched Damascus marks easily in damp.

The same routine suits other Pakistan knives with tanto points.
