Fulcrum | Takumitak – fixed blade with Tanto profile

The Takumitak Fulcrum is a fixed blade knife featuring a traditional Tanto blade shape. Built from D2 steel with a 62 HRC hardness rating, this knife measures 24.13cm in total length with an 11.43cm blade. The polished finish and plain-edge grind make it suitable for both precision work and heavy-duty cutting tasks.

Construction and materials

The blade uses D2 tool steel with a thickness of 4.9mm, providing durability and edge retention. Total weight is 289 grams, offering substantial heft without excessive bulk. The handle features G10 material in black, providing grip in wet conditions. The polished blade finish helps resist corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance.

Application and use

This fixed blade suits outdoor professionals, bushcrafters, and collectors seeking a robust cutting tool. The Tanto profile excels at piercing tasks and splitting hard materials like wood. The plain-edge configuration handles rope cutting, food preparation, and general camp tasks effectively.

Integration and compatibility

The knife includes a Kydex sheath with Molle/Belt Clip mounting options for secure carry. The fixed blade design requires no assembly or maintenance of moving parts. The sheath system allows integration with tactical gear, belts, or backpack straps.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The D2 steel offers semi-stainless properties but requires basic care. Clean after use and apply light oil to prevent oxidation. The 62 HRC hardness means less frequent sharpening but requires proper technique when needed. The polished finish shows fingerprints but provides good corrosion resistance.
