How to unlock the Blade of Justice achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide
Level: Flooded Archives
Go through the level and defeat the first encounter with enemies after you get the Atlas.
In the next area 5 enemies will drop from the ceiling and begin a sweep looking for you. Pick off 4 of them using close range stealth kills (from behind, or drop on them from above), and reload the checkpoint. You can repeat this as many times as you need to.
If they dont spawn. Go to a camp and travel out. Then travel back to the camp next to the "shop"
Hope this helps.

First you must buy the "Deadly Force" skill from the brawler skill tree, as this will change the animation of your stealth kills to make them count as "special". Sneak up to an unaware enemy and press . If you've already beaten the story you can still find enemies in free roam (e.g. fast travel to Siberian Wilderness, there's always a group of enemies here since they respawn when you fast travel to another campfire and then come back).
I was unable to get this via checkpoint restart or chapter replay. It has to be done in story mode. It doesn't matter if another enemies notices you when you do the "stealth" takedown. As long as Lara has started her knife animation then it will count, regardless of whether or not you are being spotted in the process.
A 'special' stealth kill just requires you to have learned the Deadly Force skill from the Brawler tree before attempting it. Now, just sneak up behind an enemy and use to carry out a stealth kill, then repeat until you unlock the achievement. If you like, you can reload the checkpoint for another opportunity after completing each kill, but there are numerous opportunities for stealth kills both during and after your main playthrough so this isn't really necessary.
