I give it 4 out of 5 stars because there’s 2 main issues. One of the issues is the saya fit is loose & the tanto falls out the saya easily. The second is the sageo is too long. Other than that it came really well done & only took 2 months to arrive.

Why choose the Tanto format?Compact proportion and focused details
A Tanto format concentrates the design into a compact silhouette. Because the overall form is shorter, the relationship between blade shape, handle treatment, fittings and saya becomes especially visible. The format establishes the proportion; the options in the builder establish the appearance of this order.
Choose a clear visual direction before combining components. A restrained saya can make detailed fittings stand out, while a stronger saya finish often works best with a simpler handle and repeated metal tone. Use the full preview to judge the complete composition rather than any option in isolation.
Blade, steel and edge decisionsMaterial, geometry, polish and inscription
The current builder separates the blade into practical decisions such as material or steel, blade shape, cutting-edge option, groove, point line, polish and inscription. These controls may appear under names including Zukuri, Ha, Bo-Hi, Yokote, Togi and Mei. Follow the options actually shown in the live builder because availability and priced combinations can change.
Review the full blade selection as one system. A groove changes the visual rhythm of the blade; polish affects its surface presentation; the edge choice affects handling responsibility; and an inscription should be checked character by character before checkout. The preview and saved configuration—not a generic product photograph—identify what you selected.
Tsuka, fittings and sayaBuild a coordinated mounting
The mounting choices bring most of the visible personality to a custom Tanto. Depending on current availability, the builder can include samegawa and its application style, tsuka-ito material, wrapping style, tsuba, seppa, habaki, fuchi and kashira, menuki, saya and sageo. Each category has a different role, but they should read as one composition when viewed together.
Use the large preview to compare colors and finishes after every major change. A simple method is to choose one dominant tone for the saya, one supporting tone for the handle and one metal finish that repeats across the fittings. The builder remains authoritative if a pictured example and a currently selectable option differ.

Questions before ordering
Custom Tanto FAQ
Will the price change as I choose options?
Yes. Priced selections update the configured total inside Kickflip. Review that total and the cart price before completing checkout.
What does the builder preview represent?
It helps you review the selected combination from several views. The saved configuration and Shopify order record are the operational reference for the custom build.
Can I add an inscription?
Use the inscription or Mei choice shown in the live builder when available. Confirm spelling, characters and requested placement before checkout.
How long does production take?
Current guidance for a fully custom order is approximately 3–4 months before dispatch. Carrier transit begins only after workshop completion.
When will I see the shipping charge?
After you enter the delivery destination at checkout, Shopify shows the available shipping rate before payment is completed.
Can I change the design after checkout?
Contact support as early as possible with the order number. A change is not guaranteed and depends on the request and the current production stage.
