Tanto 1060 Carbon Steel Knife Green Saya Oil Quenched

The Tanto, the smallest sword/dagger in the Daisho set of samurai weapons, carries a lot of significance despite its smaller size. This replica Tanto, crafted from 1060 high carbon steel, has been properly heat treated and oil quenched. It further undergoes a 12-step hand polishing process to achieve a bright shine and ideal hardness level.

The full tang blade, double pegged for security, features a bohi (groove) that lowers its weight, making it easy to use. Its tight rayskin and silk tsuka-maki facilitate smooth handling. The scabbard, constructed from glossy wood, protects it from rust. The fittings of this Tanto are made of alloy and brass, following a bamboo motif that symbolizes simplicity and strength. Perfect for beginner practitioners of tantojutsu, this Tanto can also be functional for light-cutting targets.
