Handmade 1080 & Copper Damascus Tanto Knife – Segmented Amboyna Burl & TruStone Handle

$549.99

Total Length: 7.6”

Blade Length: 3.75”

Grip Thickness: 0.6”

This one-of-a-kind handmade fixed blade combines a bold tanto-inspired profile with copper Damascus and an intricately segmented handle built from contrasting natural and composite materials.

The blade is crafted from 1080 steel and copper Damascus produced by Iron Beak Forge. The copper creates warm, organic lines throughout the darker layered steel, giving the blade a distinctive pattern that becomes especially striking along the angular geometry of the tanto-inspired profile.

The handle was built as a segmented design using black-dyed redwood, white TruStone, and richly figured amboyna burl. The deep black of the dyed redwood transitions into bright white TruStone before finishing in the warm reds, oranges, and natural figure of amboyna burl. Thin accent layers between the segments further define each material and give the handle a clean, intentional transition from one section to the next.

Three decorative pins complete the handle, including two mosaic pins and a Lone Star mosaic pin, adding fine detail without competing with the segmented construction.

Each element of the knife is individually fitted, shaped, and finished by hand, making the natural figure, forged steel pattern, and finished handle unique to this piece.

A fitted Kydex sheath is included.

⚠️ Carbon Steel Care & Maintenance

This knife is made from high-carbon steel and requires routine care to prevent rust and corrosion. Carbon steel is not stainless steel and may naturally develop a patina over time.

Keep the blade clean, completely dry, and lightly oiled when not in use. Do not leave the knife wet, submerged in water, or exposed to prolonged moisture. After use, clean and thoroughly dry the blade before returning it to its sheath. Apply a thin coat of appropriate knife or mineral oil regularly, particularly before storage.

Rust, corrosion, staining, or patina that develops after delivery as a result of use, moisture exposure, storage conditions, or lack of maintenance is not considered a manufacturing defect and is not covered by our warranty.

Continued care and maintenance after delivery are the responsibility of the owner.
