Ananke – Hand-Forged Modern Tanto
The Ananke tanto is a hand-forged modern blade that balances tactical utility with heirloom craftsmanship. Designed with the concept of wabi-sabi, it embraces purposeful imperfection—each hammer mark and natural finish becoming part of its identity—yet it is engineered for real-world performance.
The blade geometry features a reinforced tanto point for exceptional piercing strength, paired with a flat-ground edge that delivers clean, controlled cuts. This makes Ananke equally suited for tactical applications, survival use, or precise everyday utility. Its full tang construction ensures durability under heavy use, and the handle is shaped for a secure grip in both forward and reverse holds, allowing adaptability in defensive or practical scenarios.
As a display piece, Ananke carries the aesthetic of inevitability—aged textures, visible forging patterns, and a timeless profile. Whether carried as a functional tool or presented as a work of art, Ananke stands as a reminder that true beauty lies in resilience, honesty, and purpose.
Blade: Forged 1095 high carbon. ~1/4” blade thickness at the spine - ~12” OAL. Handle: Dyed and stabilized spalted maple with bone white G10 and brass liners.
Sheath: Custom Kydex
*All knives are handmade. Weights and measurements are approximate… but darn close.
