A premium Japanese Tanto blade blank.

Unquestionably the most valuable part of any Japanese Tanto knife is its blade, with this knife blade certainly forming a strong foundational core for any battle ready, custom Tanto build.

Choose from arguably the two best knife-making steels available, 1095 carbon steel or T10 steel. Both steels encapsulate a very high carbon content which facilitates a durable and hard cutting edge, and vitally, other metal alloys of varying compositions, producing excellent blade resiliency & elasticity, which ensures the blade will survive violent battle stresses of real combat.

Description

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 these blades.

The primary starting point for any Tanto Japanese knife building project.
