Damascus Tanto Knife

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat knife blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this Japanese Samurai knife. 

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine 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 lacquered hardwood Tanto sheath, quality knife fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with pu-leather & quality-cord handle, forming a practical and effective hand-grip.

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