This 17 1/2" overall tanto, produced for a samurai warrior, is hand-forged out of 1060 high-carbon steel with a real wood handle. The Tanto in Japanese 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 tanto blade design is also popular as a tactical knife; many tactical knives now use a tanto blade. Our tanto is a work of art. The beautifully designed blade features a real hamon and a false edge on the spine, giving it a unique look.

A unique feature on the blade is the integrated Bo-Hi. Bo-Hi is commonly known as blood grooves, but that is a common misconception. The purpose of the Bo-Hi is to help reduce the weight of the katana, it actually has nothing to do with channeling the blood. Making the Katana lighter enables the user to wield the katana better and puts less stress on the hands. Not to mention it benefits some advance cutting techniques that requires the katana to change direction rapidly.

A perfect balance of elegance and functionality, it makes a great gift or a great addition to your collection. This Tanto includes a Deluxe Gift Box and Certificate of Authenticity. Each Tanto is individually numbered on the tang.

FAQ

What is the importance of provenance in determining a sword's value?

Provenance establishes the basic facts about a sword. It provides the date it was made, who made it and who owned it. This allows you to determine authenticity and, through this, the sword’s monetary and cultural value.

How can I protect myself from buying a fake Samurai sword?

Knowing the provenance of a Samurai sword is one sure way to ensure you are not duped. Purchasing the sword from an authorized and reputable dealer further safeguards against becoming the owner of a fake Samurai sword.

Are there any legal restrictions on owning a Samurai sword?

If you purchase a Samurai sword, you must be at least 18 in the United States. However, while owning and even displaying a Samurai sword in your residence is perfectly legal, state-governed restrictions may apply to whether you can carry it in public.

What are the responsibilities of owning a historical weapon?

If you own a historical weapon, you are assuming responsibility for its care and continuance. You must take care to treat it with the respect it deserves. You must ensure:

  1. It retains its excellent condition or can be restored appropriately to a pristine state.
  2. You preserve all the paperwork indicating its provenance.
  3. You protect it from damage, theft and other adverse situations.
What are the different types of Samurai swords?

Samurai swords are available in several types. The major kinds are:

Of these, the Katana is the most recognized.

What is your return policy?

We accept returns within 15 days of receiving your order. Items must be unused, in their original condition, and with all original packaging.

What is the difference between “Musha” and “Musashi” swords?

The primary difference between Musha and Musashi swords lies in the materials and craftsmanship:

  • Musha Swords: These are more entry-level or budget-friendly swords, typically made with less expensive materials. They are perfect for beginners or those looking for a functional yet affordable sword.
  • Musashi Swords: These are higher-end swords, crafted with superior materials and greater attention to detail. They are often favored by collectors or martial artists seeking top-tier performance and aesthetic value.

Both Musha and Musashi swords are functional, but Musashi swords offer a premium experience with higher craftsmanship.

Where are your swords made?

Our swords are expertly crafted at a renowned forge in China under the guidance of master swordsmiths. Honoring ancient Japanese forging traditions, each blade reflects time-honored precision and artistry. Rigorous inspections ensure exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
