AK1 American Tanto MagnaCut

AK1 American Tanto MagnaCut

American Tanto EDC knife made of CPM® MagnaCut

The popular American Tanto model of our AK1 is now also available in the American super steel Magnacut. In contrast to the budget friendly N690 version, this edition is also equipped with our innovative lanyard tab. This allows a lanyard to be attached as desired, but if not used, the tab can simply be hidden in the end of the handle.

This modern form of the classic Tanto blade convinces with its precise lines, which result in a secondary point and a second blade bevel. The American Tanto comes with either a rugged stonewash finish (exclusively with us) or a decorative two tone finish.

Handle scales as well as a matching kydex sheath are available separately from us.

Important Note:

With screwed handle scales, it is generally possible for moisture to be drawn between the tang and the scales via the hands. A fine layer of rust sometimes can appear here. This can only be seen when the scales are removed and does not affect the quality of the knife in any way. We recommend applying a few drops of food-safe mineral oil (e.g. Ballistol) to this area to prevent the process.

Each blade is delivered with a complete set of hardware.

If handle scales are also ordered, we will ship the knife fully assembled.
