Tanto Swords

Tanto swords are traditional Japanese daggers with the fittings of a samurai sword. Besides serving as a ceremonial weapon, it was also used by the warriors and commoners for self defense, eventually becoming a protective talisman given to Japanese brides and newborn babies. Our tanto collection ranges from elegant and discreet pieces to those used as part of a Daisho set. From hand forged traditional pieces to modern pieces designed as a utility tool, tanto swords today come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
