At Tanzo Cutlery, we believe that every knife tells a story, and that starts with the handle. Each handle we create is a unique masterpiece, crafted with care and precision to ensure that no two are alike.

What sets us apart is our unwavering promise to our clients:

Once a handle is made, it will never be repeated or matched for another customer.

This commitment means that when you choose a Tanzo knife, you’re not just selecting a knife; you’re acquiring a unique heirloom that stands as a testament to your individuality.  As the only knife company in the country dedicated exclusively to one of a kind knife handles, we take immense pride in our commitment to individuality reflected in our craftsmanship. 

Join us in celebrating the art of unique knife handles, where each piece is as distinctive as the person who uses it.

Welcome to TANZO CUTLERY. Founded by Chris Osman, a former Marine and Navy SEAL. Tanzo Cutlery is rooted in his dedication to craftsmanship and quality. After spending 20 years in the tactical nylon/design industry, post-service, Chris retired and turned his focus to cutlery; inspired by the rich history of blacksmithing and cutlery’s significance in everyday life. Each knife is meticulously handcrafted and designed for both professionals and home cooks. Our knives are honed to perfection, with razor-sharp edges, providing exceptional performance that transforms any meal preparation into an elevated experience.

At TANZO CUTLERY, we believe that owning quality cutlery is about more than functionality; it's about pride in your tools and the joy of cooking. When Chris is not in the shop, he spends his time outdoors camping, hiking in the mountains, fly fishing, and shooting with his wife. 

Join Chris as he blends tradition with modern craftsmanship, creating not just knives, but legacies that enhance your culinary journey.
