T-1 (Tanto One) The Dynamic Kaiken

It cuts like nothing else — because it was designed by a chef. Every Liong Mah Design knife is designed by Liong Mah, a former professional pastry chef, and built to be carried, used, and kept for life.

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
