Combining the proven geometry of the traditional tanto profile with durable stainless steel construction, this blade blank provides a powerful foundation for creating a custom fixed blade designed for serious performance and unmistakable visual impact.
Featuring a substantial 6.5" stainless steel tanto blade, the SS875 is engineered for strength and versatility. The traditional tanto profile is renowned for its reinforced point geometry, offering exceptional piercing capability and tip durability while maintaining a long primary cutting edge for slicing and utility work. This design has earned its reputation through decades of hard-use applications, making it a trusted choice for tactical knives, outdoor field blades, and heavy-duty utility builds.
The satin finish gives the blade a clean, professional appearance that highlights its bold lines while reducing glare compared to mirror-polished finishes. It provides a refined look that complements both rugged working knives and collector-grade custom builds. The stainless steel construction ensures dependable corrosion resistance and low-maintenance performance, making it ideal for makers building knives intended for regular carry, outdoor environments, or long-term collection.
Built with full tang construction, the SS875 offers the structural integrity required for demanding use. The tang extends the entire length of the handle, creating a solid, balanced platform that delivers strength, stability, and confidence in hand. Full tang construction is the standard for serious fixed blade builds, allowing the finished knife to stand up to heavy cutting, field tasks, and repeated use without compromise.
At 12.5" overall, this blade blank delivers substantial size and presence. It offers the reach and cutting surface needed for larger utility tasks while maintaining excellent balance when paired with the right custom handle materials. This generous profile gives makers plenty of room to create handles tailored for comfort, control, and visual distinction.
The SS875 pairs exceptionally well with a wide range of handle materials, from traditional hardwoods and stag to modern micarta, G-10, carbon fiber, or stabilized exotic woods. Whether your goal is a tactical field blade, a display-worthy collector’s piece, or a hard-use outdoor knife, this blank offers the flexibility to bring that vision to life.
For custom knifemakers who value bold design, proven blade geometry, and dependable stainless steel performance, the JANTZ Supplies Traditional Tanto Blade Blank Model SS875 delivers everything needed to create a knife that commands attention and performs when it counts.
