AK1 Samurai Edge MagnaCut

AK1 American Tanto MagnaCut Rework

American Tanto EDC knife made of CPM® MagnaCut

For this model, Alex Kremer took an AK1 American Tanto and reground it in the style of classic Japanese blades. The secondary bevel typical of Tanto knives is also complemented by a decorative swedge at the blade spine. Available with a Two Tone or a Stonewash finish.

For American Tanto Mods, the regular delivery time can be extended up to 21 days. Each handcrafted knife is unique, which is why there may be slight differences between the photo and the knife delivered.

The popular American Tanto MagnaCut model of our AK1 is also equipped with our innovative lanyard tab. This allows you to attach a lanyard as desired, but if you are not using a lanyard, you can simply hide the eyelet in the end of the handle.

Handle scales and a matching Kydex sheath are available separately from us. This regrind fits in the American Tanto Kydex sheath.

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.
