CIVIVI x Terzuola Tamashii Tanto Black Stonewashed D2 Dark Green Micarta Fixed Blade C19046-4

Inspired by the timeless design of Japanese swords, godfather of the modern tactical folder Bob Terzuola applies his eye for design in the modern tactical Tamashii fixed blade from CIVIVI. Japanese for “soul” or “spirit” the Tamashii retains the spirit of the traditional Japanese Tanto within a more modern form. While more tactical in nature, this knife is a functional tool with many applications. This version has a black stonewashed D2 blade and dark green canvas Micarta handle.

Brand new, direct from CIVIVI Knives.

Blade: The sweeping lines of the classic Tanto come in flat ground D2 tool steel for a long wearing edge that slices with ease. A long, pronounced swedge gives the blade powerful piercing capability, while the flat spine near the handle allows for added leverage in powerful cuts. The forward belly and fine tip permit more refined work while the black stonewashed finish hides wear and is discreet in use.

Handle: The clean, simple lines of the dark green Micarta scales give the knife a sleek, minimalist with a practical design that is comfortable and secure in multiple grips. A subtle index choil and thumb ramp pair with the tapered pommel end to lock the knife in hand, affording softer texture for fast transitions in the hand.

Carries via a Kydex sheath with Bob Terzuola designed T-Clip.

D2 Tool Steel: Used as a die cutting steel since WW II, D2 offers a good combination of hardness and wear resistance with moderate toughness and stain resistance. High chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) gives D2 better corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels.
