AK1 American Tanto N690
Description
AK1 American Tanto N690
American Tanto EDC knife made of Böhler N690
The new variant of our AK1. Alex Kremer has interpreted the American Tanto as a new blade shape. 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 use of Böhler N690 steel and the fixed lanyard tab allow us to offer this model at a particularly affordable price - while still being "made in Germany". Of course, the new family member also blends in with our modular system as usual.
The American Tanto comes with either a rugged stonewash finish (exclusively with us) or a decorative two tone finish. The handle scales shown as well as a matching kydex sheath are available separately from us.
Important Note:
With scales that are screwed to a knife it is always possible that moisture seeps in between tang and scales. A thin layer of rust can form where tang and moisture meet. Even though it is only visible when the scales are removed and the knife’s quality isn’t lessened in any way, we attach a small package of oil to every order to counteract this process.
