T-1 (Tanto One) The Dynamic Kaiken
SKU:T-1-MARSVALLEY
Classy, sleek, and dynamic, this knife is versatile enough to suit any social environment.
Liong Mah has always had a keen fascination with hand-ground tanto blades. In his quest to design these knives, he explores what an idealized version of the kwaiken style would be in the LMD lineup.
The T1 creates a Tanto knife experience in which the entire knife is straight, with a slight curve on the blade. The Tanto One style knife has the slimmest blade in any knife category in the Liong Mah Design collection. It features a blade length of 3.75 in with a 3.5 in cutting edge.
Like a warrior blade, the Dynamic Kaiken
