The tanto is a traditional Japanese dagger that became widely used during the Kamakura period (1185\u20131333), especially valued by samurai for its effectiveness in close-quarters combat. Its size and pointed design made it ideal for slipping through the armor gaps of even the most heavily protected opponents.<\/p>\n
This example features a hira-zukuri profile\u2014flat on both sides and tapering sharply to a fine edge. Among traditional Japanese blade geometries, hira-zukuri is known for its clean slicing ability and minimal resistance during thrusts. The blade is forged from high-carbon T10 tool steel, offering superior edge retention and structural integrity.<\/p>\n
The handle is assembled in the traditional style, with genuine rayskin beneath a tightly wrapped tsuka-ito in a diamond pattern. A single wooden peg (mekugi) holds all the fittings securely in place.<\/p>\n
Its wooden scabbard is polished to a reflective finish and fitted with a sageo cord for proper mounting.<\/p>\n
