Kotanto Knives

Crafted for adventure

a steel partner for life

Kotanto are inspired by traditional Japanese swords and adapt for adventure use.

They are available in a range of steels and finishes.

Depending on the nature of your project, the mounting of your blade can be minimalist or complex

A Kotanto blade is composed of customizable pieces :
at least 4 main parts and up to 18 parts.

Lead Time & Reservation

I personally design each piece, a process that requires time and focus. Currently, the typical lead time for a standard project is around three months.

This timeframe is indicative, as quality always takes precedence over speed.

Project Process:

  1. You have an idea or project in mind.
  2. You contact me to discuss it.
  3. We go over the details and available options together.
  4. I provide a quote with multiple options and price ranges.
  5. You confirm the order by paying a 20% deposit and secure your place on waiting list.
  6. I start your project according to the waiting list.
  7. I keep you updated on the progress.
  8. Once the project is completed, you pay the remaining balance, and I ship your order with insurance.
