Double Edge Tanto Knife

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edges, while leaving the blade’s core softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced Japanese blade-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken Tanto fixed blade knife.

Completed with a solid rosewood Tanto sheath, quality brass fittings, and a rosewood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality-cord  handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

This Japanese Tanto knife is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable Tanto weapon to use.
