CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBefore blades were bent to mass production and function stripped of form, a few tools managed to command both respect and attention. The SZCO Tanto Cleaver revives that rare balance. Designed as a fixed blade that dares to defy convention, it blends the sharp penetration of a tanto point with the forceful utility of a cleaver’s broad edge, making it more than a knife. It’s a hybrid forged for those who refuse to settle.
At its core is a 7.75-inch Damascus steel blade, each one hand-forged and uniquely patterned. The blade’s layered design speaks to centuries of metallurgical tradition, while its profile leans hard into modern functionality. The tanto point gives you precise piercing strength, ideal for puncturing and carving, while the wide flat edge offers exceptional chopping power, whether you’re splitting kindling or dressing game in the field.
Measuring 13 inches overall, this knife is built on a full tang foundation that ensures strength from tip to pommel. Its black Micarta handle is sculpted for ergonomic control and textured for grip, delivering security in wet or gloved hands. Brass pins not only fasten the handle with classic appeal but also add to the structural integrity. A lanyard hole at the base provides added utility, allowing for easy tethering or quick deployment.
When it’s not in your hand, the Tanto Cleaver stores in a hand-stitched brown leather belt sheath that keeps it secure, protected, and ready for action. The leatherwork complements the blade’s rugged elegance, making it just as fitting on your belt as it is on display.
Whether you're building shelter in the backwoods, breaking down big cuts of meat, or just adding a striking centerpiece to your collection, the SZCO Tanto Cleaver delivers practical performance and undeniable character. It’s not just a tool—it’s a statement.
