Grade 5 Titanium, D2 Steel, Smaller Than An AirPod: The Natanto Folding Knife Has Nothing Left to Prove - Yanko Design

"The Natanto takes the tanto format at its word, pairing the profile with a D2 tool steel blade that carries a 2.7mm spine, the same thickness found on full-size production folders."

"D2 tool steel is a fitting choice for a knife this small because edge retention matters more when the blade gives you very little room to waste motion."

"The 15-degree V-grind on each side keeps the knife slicing cleanly instead of wedging its way through a cut, and the 2.7mm spine adds the kind of precision needed for small tasks."

TiMav's Natanto features a D2 tool steel blade with a 2.7mm spine and a 15-degree V-grind, ensuring low cutting resistance. The knife measures 39.7mm and weighs 10.8g, constructed from Grade 5 titanium with a seamless design. It utilizes dual brass washers for smooth pivot action and a secure frame lock. The keychain aperture fits standard rings and comes in two finishes. The modified tanto shape enhances precision for cutting tasks, making it effective for small, detailed work.
