Sector 3 | Takumitak – reliable fixed blade knife for everyday use

This fixed blade knife from Takumitak combines functionality with robustness. With its Drop Point blade shape and 3Cr13 stainless steel, this knife is perfect for a variety of cutting tasks. The black oxide finish not only gives the knife a tough appearance, but also provides extra protection against corrosion.

Experience from the Shogun team

We tested this knife during a weekend camping trip. The grip remained stable, even with wet hands when preparing kindling. The fixed blade knife felt familiar and the balance was just right for prolonged use.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The 3Cr13 steel is a solid choice for general use. With a hardness of 56 HRC, it stays sharp reasonably long and is easy to resharpen. The Drop Point blade shape with plain-edge grind cuts smoothly through rope, wood and food. For intensive use, we recommend regular resharpening.

Grip and ease of use

This fixed blade knife does not require an opening mechanism or lock – it is always ready for use. The handle offers good control, although we would have liked to see more texture for extra grip. The plastic sheath keeps the knife safely stored between uses.

Who is this knife suitable for?

Perfect for beginners looking for their first fixed blade knife without a large investment. Also suitable for campers and outdoor enthusiasts who want a backup knife. For professional bushcraft use, we recommend a harder steel type, but for occasional use this knife is more than sufficient.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 stainless steel requires little maintenance – occasional cleaning and storing dry is sufficient. The black oxide finish provides extra protection against rust, but may wear with intensive use. For optimal performance, we recommend a drop of oil on the blade monthly.
