Is slightly curved, straight sword to machetes transition of a sword Japanese tantō The tantō is commonly referred to as a knife or dagger. The blade is single or double edged with a length between 15 and 30 cm (6-12 inches, in Japanese 1 shaku). The tantō was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well. Tantō are generally forged in hira-zukuri style (without ridgeline), meaning that their sides have no ridge line and are nearly flat, unlike the shinogi-zukuri structure of a katana. Some tantō have particularly thick cross-sections for armor-piercing duty, and are called yoroi toshi. Tantō were mostly carried by samurai, as commoners did not generally wear them. Women sometimes carried a small tantō called a kaiken in their obi primarily for self-defense. Tantō were sometimes worn as the shōtō in place of a wakizashi in a daishō, especially on the battlefield. Before the advent of the wakizashi/tantō combination, it was common for a samurai to carry a tachi and a tantō as opposed to a katana and a wakizashi.It has been noted that the tachi would be paired with a tantō and later the uchigatana would be paired with another shorter uchigatana. ## Features - 1095 Carbon Steel, Blade HRC: 58, Full Tang, Blade Shape: Unokubitsukuri, Short Bo-hi - Fully Hand Forged, Water Quenching - Overall: 50 CM / 20 Inch, Blade: 30 CM / 12 Inch, Tsuka: 15 CM / 6 Inch, Blade Width: 3.2 CM / 1.26 Inch, Blade Thickness: 0.7 CM / 0.28 Inch - Alloy Tsuba, Genuine Rayskin Samegawa, Synthetic Silk Ito & Sageo ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Q1GRNGL | | Best Sellers Rank | #924,562 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #1,618 in Martial Arts Swords | | Blade Length | 30 centimeters | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Steel | | Brand Name | SJ SHI JIAN | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (17) | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Handle Material | Rayskin, Synthetic Silk | | Included Components | 1 tanto | | Item Dimensions L x W | 20"L x 1.26"W | | Item Type Name | tanto | | Manufacturer | SJ SHI JIAN | | Manufacturer Part Number | TU02 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Style | Japanese | | UPC | 613617610724 | | Warranty Description | providing maintenance suggestion | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 30 centimeters - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Steel - **Brand:** SJ SHI JIAN - **Handle Material:** Rayskin, Synthetic Silk - **Style:** Japanese ## Images ![Full Tang Unokubitsukuri Carbon Steel Japanese Samurai Tanto Small Sword Short Katana - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qLg2X5GsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it pre sharpend?** A: They are not a normal katana used in bushido seppuku sharper than razor sharp **Q: can this blade be fitted with a slightly larger tsuba?** A: YES, which tsuba do you like?
