Asuka Black Tanto

From the Asuka Series comes this intricately hand-crafted O-Goncho (White Dragon) Tanto. Using Maru-kitae hand forged technique with 1060 steel the result is a beautiful and resilient blade with Gunome style hamon pattern.

The beautiful red saya depicts O-Goncho which is a fierce white Japanese dragon that lives in a deep pool named Ukisima. Every fifty years O-Goncho is known to rise from the deep pond to cry out with the howl and screech of a wolf. In that year, tremendous famine spreads.

The Tanto in 16th century culture was used as a "harakiri" weapon if the Samurai Warrior brought shame to their Family name. In popular culture today the Tanto is used for self-defense and for home décor. The design of the tanto blade is also very popular as a tactical knife, numerous tactical knives now use a tanto blade. Our traditional style tanto is a work of art with a perfect balance of elegance and functionality.  Includes a deluxe gift box, it will make a perfect gift or as an addition to your collection.
