Mini Tanto Knife

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat knife blades, and certainly forms a unique, and 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 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 Ebony hardwood Tanto sheath, quality brass Habaki, and a matching Ebony hardwood 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 highly collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable Tanto weapon to use.
