North Mountain Blade Samurai Short Knife – 3.5" SLD-Magic Tanto Desert Ironwood Fixed Blade
The North Mountain Blade Samurai Short Knife is a handmade Japanese-style fixed blade crafted with premium materials, including a desert ironwood handle selected at the 2024 Atlanta Blade Show. Each piece is one of a kind, with handle material chosen individually so no two knives are alike. The 3.5-inch tanto blade is made from high-performance SLD-Magic steel (made in Japan, similar to powdered D2) at roughly 61 HRC, and showcases exquisite hand-finished patterns reminiscent of traditional samurai swords—created entirely by hand, not by laser. Its compact size makes it easy to carry, while the included high-quality leather sheath with belt loop supports everyday carry. Going Gear is an authorized North Mountain Blade dealer.
