Phantom
Blackwood Tanto — $158 USD
Inspired by the angular silhouette of the Japanese tanto and refined through the lens of modern tactical design, Phantom moves between traditions. Its geometry shifts depending on the angle — one moment a classic profile, the next a blade from a world that hasn't yet been built.
Carved from a single piece of African Blackwood, the Phantom features an angular tanto-style tip and a sculpted grip designed for display. The wood's natural density gives it a weight and presence that synthetic materials cannot replicate. Under direct light, subtle gold striations emerge from the black — the phantom revealing itself.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Material: African Blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon)
- Style: Modern tanto geometry
- Finish: Hand-polished, multi-angle sculpted surface
"The blade you see is never the one you feel."

THE CRAFT
THE STORY
Carved from rare African Blackwood, this relic carries the quiet strength of ancient forests. Each curve and grain reveals a presence shaped slowly by hand.
THE CRAFT
Wood Selection
Each piece of African Blackwood is hand-selected for grain character, density, and the presence of natural gold veins.
Hand Shaping
Using traditional tools, the raw block is slowly shaped over days — never machined, never rushed.
Fine Sanding
40+ hours of progressive sanding through five grits, revealing the wood's natural luster without stains or finishes.
Natural Finishing
A single coat of natural wax seals the relic. No paints. No varnishes. Only the wood itself.
MADE TO ORDER
Each relic is crafted specifically for its future owner.
