Black Knife Tanto

1060 high carbon steel encapsulates both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the extremely desirable blade elasticity & resilience. This produces a hard, reliable and sharp cutting edge and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat. 

The black lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with its solid brass knife fittings, complements this Samurai Tanto very nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin forms a traditional Tanto knife aesthetic and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This Samurai Tanto is an elegant piece of combative art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and makes a formidable close quarters Samurai knife weapon.
