Tanto Ninja Knife

Characteristics include a hard, reliable battle edge, which will hold its edge and stay sharp for longer than any other steel used for swordsmithing. Furthermore, the blade encapsulates good resilience and elasticity, as one would expect from any combat functional blade.

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 knife’s blade. 

The dark black lacquered, hardwood scabbard and quality knife fittings, complement this Japanese combat knife beautifully. And the hardwood, wrapped with synthetic stingray-skin & quality polyester cord form a traditional Tanto knife aesthetic and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This fixed blade Tanto dagger, is a subtle and simple work of combative art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and makes a formidable close quarters Japanese fighting knife.
