Operation Mako Knife with Sheath | USMC – Fixed blade tanto knife for outdoor and tactical use

This fixed blade knife features a substantial 27.3cm blade length with tanto point geometry. Constructed from 3Cr13 stainless steel with a plain-edge grind, it weighs 433g and includes a nylon sheath for carry and storage.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 3Cr13 stainless steel with a hardness rating of 56-58 HRC, offering reasonable edge retention and corrosion resistance. Total length measures 41.91cm with the 27.3cm blade making up the majority. The handle features glass-fibre reinforced nylon construction in black finish, providing grip in wet conditions.

Application and use

Designed as a fantasy knife category product, this piece suits collectors, display purposes, and outdoor enthusiasts requiring a robust fixed blade. The tanto point excels at piercing tasks and rope cutting, whilst the plain-edge configuration simplifies field sharpening. Too large for EDC carry, it functions better as a camp or survival tool.

Integration and compatibility

The included nylon sheath provides basic retention and protection during transport. As a fixed blade design, there are no locking mechanisms or opening systems to consider. The 433g weight requires sturdy belt mounting when carrying in the field.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular cleaning and light oiling after use to prevent corrosion. The plain-edge blade responds well to standard sharpening stones. Store in the provided sheath when not in use to protect the edge and prevent moisture accumulation.
