High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt to endure hard use in harsh conditions, the Hanwei Tactical Tanto by Paul Chen is a no-nonsense fixed blade designed for serious fieldwork. With a tough-as-nails 11" blade made from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, this tanto boasts exceptional shock resistance and edge durability—making it a dependable companion for survival, self-defense, and tactical utility. The satin finish gives it a clean, low-maintenance look while protecting against corrosion.
This full tang design ensures maximum strength and stability from tip to handle, allowing it to absorb impact and resist failure under pressure. The checkered Kraton handle is built for control in any condition. Whether your hands are cold, wet, or gloved, the textured rubberized grip provides a non-slip hold, ideal for working in the field, in the rain, or in emergency scenarios.
At 16.75" overall and weighing just 13.5oz, the Hanwei Tactical Tanto strikes a balance between reach and portability. It's long enough to offer serious leverage but light enough to stay agile and fast. The included fiberglass scabbard is designed for utility—lightweight, durable, and water-resistant. Unlike leather or nylon, it won’t soak up moisture or degrade over time, making it ideal for humid or wet environments.
The scabbard also features multiple lanyard holes for custom carry setups. Whether lashed to a backpack, MOLLE panel, or belt rig, the included paracord wrap expands your options and ensures secure, adaptable transport. Every detail of this knife reflects Paul Chen’s commitment to tactical performance—function over flair, strength over flash.
Whether you're packing out into the backcountry or assembling a go-bag for worst-case scenarios, the Hanwei Tactical Tanto delivers unwavering performance when you need it most. Order it today from SMKW!
