This is a fully functional, battle-ready Modern Tanto with a Bohi, a groove that lowers the weight. Tantos were daggers and sidearms carried by samurai in everyday life for self-defense and to combat fully armored enemies, piercing them in their gaps during a grapple or close quarters melee.<\/p>\n
This tanto is perfect for the modern urban samurai who practices tameshigiri (cutting). The blade is forged from 1566 high carbon steel and differentially hardened, resulting in a hardness level of 60 at the edge and 40 at the spine\u2014measurements ideal for cutting. The sword features a real hamon dancing across the edge, and the profile is Kanmuriotoshi Zukuri, a design that reinforces the rigidity and toughness of the blade.<\/p>\n
The one-handed handle is made of modern G10, which is very durable and resistant to the elements and offers an excellent non-slip grip. The fittings, such as the collar and spacers, are made of copper and feature a dragon decoration on the handle.<\/p>\n
It comes with its very own wooden scabbard that has been textured for a modern appeal.<\/p>\n
This Modern Tanto be combined with other modern Japanese swords, such as the Modern Katana (SD35471) and Modern Wakizashi (SD35476), to make a perfect modern Daisho.<\/p>\n
Please note that the cord on the scabbard may not be wrapped as shown in the pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
