Charge | Black | Takumitak – fixed blade outdoor knife

This fixed blade knife features a 13.33cm tanto-style blade made from D2 steel with a stonewashed finish. Weighing 255g and measuring 27.94cm in total length, it includes a Kydex sheath for secure carry.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises D2 tool steel, known for excellent edge retention and hardness. The tanto blade geometry provides a strong piercing tip, while the plain-edge grind allows for precise cutting control. The black handle offers secure grip, and the stonewashed blade finish helps mask minor wear marks during use.

Application and use

Designed for outdoor and bushcraft activities, this fixed blade handles tasks like rope cutting, wood processing, and general camp duties. The substantial blade length of 13.33cm provides adequate reach for field tasks, while the 255g weight ensures controlled handling without excessive fatigue.

Integration and compatibility

The included Kydex sheath enables belt carry and protects the blade during transport. As a fixed blade design, no locking mechanisms or opening systems are present. The sheath retention system secures the knife during movement while allowing quick access when needed.

Maintenance and lifecycle

D2 steel requires regular maintenance as it is not stainless. Clean and oil the blade after use, particularly in humid conditions. The stonewashed finish provides some corrosion resistance but does not eliminate the need for proper care. With appropriate maintenance, D2 steel maintains its edge exceptionally well between sharpenings.
