The 短刀 Tanto, or "short blade" came into the arsenal of the Samurai during the Heian Period (794-1185), designed as a close quarters combat weapon offering versatility in tight spaces and allowing for quick and precise strikes. Reminiscent of the dagger, the Tanto features a single-edged blade with a sharp point and a varying length handle. Blade length is 6-12 inches, making it shorter than a standard Katana or Wakizashi. Tanto served various purposes beyond combat, used as tools for daily tasks as well as holding cultural significance and given as ceremonial gifts or used as a symbol of authority.PP SPECIFICATIONS Forged T10 tool steel blade, differentially hardened with natural HamonUnokubi blade profile with Bo-hi and So-hiPlated brass fittings in blossom motifAuthentic white ray skin dyedHardwood Saya, handpainted cherry blossom design.
