Tanto Sword Knife 1060 Carbon Steel

Tanto knives, an irreplaceable weapon carried by the samurai everywhere, were usable for life-saving, ceremonial, and cultural purposes. This Tanto replica, an affordable functional piece, is made out of 1060 high-carbon steel and comes in a combat version with a proper handguard.

The blade, full tang and double-pegged, provides an extra level of security; it features a bohi (groove) to lower its overall weight and easily produce the desired tachikaze (perfect swing sound). Its handle is traditional rayskin under a silk tsuka-maki, and its scabbard is made of wood with a shiny gloss. The alloy fittings adhere to a sakura flower theme, symbolizing life, death, beauty, and violence.
