Originating in the Heian Period (c. 8th-12th century CE), the Tanto is one of the iconic traditionally made blades carried by the Samurai in feudal Japan. Tanto were commonly used as a sidearm alongside a sword, namely Katana or Tachi. They were also historically carried for use in self defence and the Onna-musha (warrior women) who fought alongside Samurai in times of war were explicitly trained in their use.
This particularly fine example is made traditionally of folded steel, and a hamidashi-style handguard shaped like a coiled dragon, ready to spring. Complete with a wooden display box, this is a really special piece that could take pride of place in any collection, and would make a perfect gift for a loved one (or yourself!)
Approximate specifications are as follows:
Total length: 39cm
Blade length: 24cm
Materials: Folded steel blade, cotton wrap handle, wooden presentation box
Edge: sharp
