Description

This handmade tanto is made of 1095 high carbon folded steel. Each blade is lovingly forged in fire and beaten until the impurities are removed from the steel, leaving only the finest metal that’s then refined into a blade. It is heat tempered in the traditional manner and quenched in oil and water. The wooden handle is wrapped in genuine Stingray skin (Samekawa) before the traditional cotton handle wrapping (Tsukamaki).

This is truly an exceptional collectors piece. It’s stylish, very well made and highly considered in it’s fit and finish. It’s authentic in both design and construction and perfect for fans of Japanese swordsmanship or general knife collectors alike. Not much can rival a premium Japanese tanto.
