Hand-forged from a reclaimed railroad spike, this tanto knife combines bold geometry with practical strength. Forged entirely by hand using traditional blacksmithing techniques, each blade is fire-forged and finished by the artist in her Seattle forge, making every piece one-of-a-kind with natural variations in form and texture.
A Tanto blade is defined by its flat grind and angular tip, originally developed in Japanese blades for strength and durability. This design creates a reinforced point and strong edge geometry, making it well-suited for controlled cuts, piercing, and utility work. Here, the form is reinterpreted as both a functional tool and a sculptural object—crafted as a blank canvas for personal finishing and detail.
