• Fixed blade full tang knife
  The full tang fixed blade knife is made of high-quality 1.4116 stainless steel with a thickness of 5 mm and a hardness of 57 HRC. This ensures the strength, durability and power of the knife. The blade remains sharp for a long time and can be sharpened without the use of special tools. The knife can withstand intensive use in extreme conditions.
• Incredible strength
  The combination of a full tang, fixed blade, stainless steel and a unique American Tanto blade shape ensures incredible strength, maximum efficiency and versatility in tactical combat situations and in everyday tasks.
• American Tanto blade type
  The knife has two straight cutting edges that are connected to each other at a certain angle in the part of the tip. This “tooth” is much stronger than the tip of other knives, so it can withstand quite serious mechanical loads without additional effort. It acts as a pressure concentrator, and almost does not meet the resistance of the material. As a result, the cut with this “tooth” is well-controlled and delicate, which even allows you to cut two-layer wire insulation as neatly as possible.
• Two cutting edges
  The straight main cutting edge determines good chopping properties and inflicts clean deep cuts. At the same time, the knife is very convenient for use in everyday life.
  The presence of a frontal cutting edge provides a frontal cut when stabbing andis perfect for opening mail packages.
• Penetrating properties
  The tactical knife YAMATO has excellent penetrating properties because it has a sharp point and a sharp frontal cutting edge. It pierces any dense materials, leaving a cut equal to the width of the frontal blade.
• Handle shape.
  When designing the knife, we paid special attention to the shape of the handle – the knife lies very comfortably in the hand, providing a secure grip. In case you miscalculate the force when stabbing, we added a forefinger groove that protects your fingers from sudden movement towards the blade.
  The textured handle scales are made of ABS plastic and prevent slipping. The attachment of the scales is screws, which can be tightened independently if necessary. There is a hole for a lanyard on the knife handle.
• Reliable sheath
  A well-fitting plastic sheath securely fixes and holds the blade. The sheath has a removable steel clip compatible with the MOLLE system, which allows you to wear the knife in any convenient position. The holes in the sheath are compatible with TEK LOK. In an emergency, the knife is quickly removed. YAMATO is always ready for action.
