Fulcrum | Takumitak – premium fixed blade knife for professionals

The Takumitak Fulcrum is an impressive fixed blade knife with a traditional Tanto blade shape. This knife combines Japanese influences with modern materials such as D2 steel and is perfect for EDC, outdoor activities, or as a collector’s item. With a blade length of 11.43 cm and a polished blade finish, this knife immediately stands out due to its powerful appearance.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a bushcraft weekend, we tested the Fulcrum intensively. The knife immediately felt solid with perfect balance. The ergonomic grip of the G10 handle remained stable even with wet hands. The robust Tanto point proved its worth when working with hard wood.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The D2 steel with a hardness of 62 HRC retains its sharpness for a long time and is semi-stainless. The Tanto blade shape excels at piercing movements and heavy tasks such as splitting wood. The plain-edge grind makes the knife suitable for precision work as well as powerful cuts. This razor-sharp knife effortlessly processes rope and food.

Grip and ease of use

The G10 material of the handle provides excellent grip under all conditions. Weighing 289 grams, this knife sits securely in the hand without being fatiguing. The included Kydex sheath with Molle/Belt Clip makes carrying comfortable and safe. The 4.9 mm thick blade radiates solidity.

Who is this knife suitable for?

The Fulcrum is ideal for experienced users seeking a robust outdoor knife for heavy-duty tasks. Bushcrafters appreciate the powerful construction, while collectors admire the high-quality finish and traditional Tanto shape. For beginners, the weight and size may take some getting used to.

Maintenance and durability

The D2 steel requires minimal maintenance but does deserve attention. Clean the knife after use and lightly oil the blade to prevent rust. The polished blade finish shows fingerprints but offers good protection against corrosion. Sharpening requires more effort due to the high hardness, but is needed less frequently.
