Reaper | Takumitak – fixed blade tanto knife for outdoor use

The Takumitak Reaper is a fixed blade knife featuring a distinctive tanto blade profile. Built from 3Cr13 stainless steel with a black oxide finish, this knife measures 22.86cm in total length with an 11.43cm blade length.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 3Cr13 stainless steel hardened to 56 HRC, providing a balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. The tanto blade geometry with plain-edge grind offers robust tip strength. The black oxide coating adds corrosion resistance whilst maintaining the blade's cutting performance.

Application and use

This fixed blade knife suits outdoor activities including bushcraft, camping, and general field tasks. The tanto design excels at piercing and prying tasks, whilst the plain edge handles rope cutting and wood processing effectively. The included plastic sheath enables safe transport during outdoor activities.

Integration and compatibility

As a fixed blade design, the Reaper requires no opening mechanisms or locking systems. The 22.86cm overall length provides adequate leverage for demanding tasks, whilst the 11.43cm blade length offers sufficient cutting surface for most outdoor applications.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel composition requires minimal maintenance due to its stainless properties. Regular cleaning and light oiling will maintain optimal performance. The 56 HRC hardness allows straightforward sharpening with standard whetstones or sharpening systems when edge maintenance is required.
