Japanese Samurai first used the Sensei (tanto) design as a slashing and stabbing weapon. The blade's high point and hollow grind make this a style of choice for puncturing hard materials. The shape also lets the blade absorb impacts that would break traditional knives. The tanto-style blade design is an excellent defensive tool as well. The thickness also makes the Sensei a good general-purpose knife. This version is the combo kit. It comes with all of the basic kit parts, plus pre-machined Zebrawood handle scales to simplify the completion process. Add a touch of proper finishing, and you will create a fabulous knife that you'll be proud to own and carry. It is more durable and can handle more abuse than thinner blades. Spend an afternoon in your shop with this knife kit and build a unique knife that will last a lifetime.Our pre-machined knife handle scales are slightly thicker and larger in diameter than the handle tang they are designed for. This allows for proper sanding, shaping and artistic embellishment. They are also undrilled to allow the builder precise placement control and to maximize fastening options. You can use standard pins, mosaic pins or a number of handle fasteners. The choice is up to you. If you do not have a scroll saw to use for creating the required handle shape, or you just want to begin from an easier starting point, using these pre-machined scales will help you insure that your kit completion will be smooth and successful.
