High manganese steel, or spring steel, encapsulates both a high percentage of carbon & manganese, which both promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the most desirable blade elasticity & resilience out of any other sword making steel. This means the blade is fully battle effective, sharp 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 reserved knife fittings, complement this Samurai Tanto nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with synthetic leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional Tanto knife aesthetic and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This Samurai knife is a practical and balanced fighting weapon, equally capable of cutting and stabbing. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and makes a formidable close quarters combat knife.
