Tanto Black Knife

It’s well known for its almost perfect balance of good blade strength, hardness, toughness, edge-holding capacity, as well as renowned elasticity and excellent resilience, with very similar characteristics to a spring steel sword blade. 

1060 carbon steel is without a doubt, one of the most versatile steels available, and arguably the best blade-making steel for a Japanese Samurai knife. 

Completed with a lacquered hardwood Tanto sheath, quality brass Habaki, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin 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 combat knife to use.
