Its 18.5 cm blade lifts gently toward the tip in an \u003cstrong\u003eupswept clip point\u003c\/strong\u003e, a profile that puts the whole belly of the edge into contact as the hand draws back — a geometry made for slicing on the pull, not for prying or chopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is built as a \u003cstrong\u003esan-mai laminate\u003c\/strong\u003e: a hard \u003cstrong\u003e440C core\u003c\/strong\u003e sandwiched between two softer stainless flanks. The core is what takes and keeps the edge; the outer layers absorb shock and stop a crack from running through the blade. It is the oldest answer to the oldest compromise in cutlery — hardness on the edge, toughness everywhere else — and it is why a blade this slim can be pushed hard without turning fragile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat construction is visible, not theoretical. A \u003cstrong\u003ewavy hardening line\u003c\/strong\u003e traces the edge from the ricasso to the point, standing out cleanly against the fine satin of the flats and the bright polish of the bevel. The handle is \u003cstrong\u003eblack G10\u003c\/strong\u003e, smoothly finished and gently barrelled, held by flush dark rivets, with a lanyard hole through the butt and \u003cstrong\u003e7075 aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e fittings closing the assembly at the collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarry is handled by a molded \u003cstrong\u003eKydex 2.0 sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e: a rigid black shell that takes the blade with an audible click and holds it there upside down, eyeletted along the spine and fitted with a riveted belt loop plate for vertical or horizontal wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSilent Crescent Tactical Tanto\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced in a \u003cstrong\u003elimited run of 100 pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e — a short, curved, quietly finished blade for anyone who would rather carry 450 grams every day than 2 kilos once a year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Katana Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54709979185485,"sku":"TAC-032","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/4567\/8248\/files\/b9bfbd58ee4c46a4666eb1dd7c7b8b05.jpg?v=1789100005","url":"https:\/\/katana-sword.com\/products\/silent-crescent-tactical-tanto-limited","provider":"Katana Sword","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
