Beautiful blade. I’m very happy with my purchase. My only minor inconveniences are that the very tip of the blade is ever so slightly bent, and the sheath has very small damage (most likely from shipping). Other than those two things, everything about the piece is well made and aesthetically pleasing to look at and hold.

Great quality. Will look into getting a stand. I assumed the katanas would be sharpenable and not for display only.

This company is great! This is my 4th sword from them, I even was fortunate enough to buy the Tibetan Warrior/Hunting sword that was limited. Had a full size katana, Wazikashi and now this Tanto. All exquisitely made and all are very durable! No need to show elsewhere, the selection is numerous and the prices are for everyone.

The blade is VERY good and well finished. The fittings leave a lot to be desired. Overall a good value for the money and I would recommend this to someone looking for an inexpensive tanto.

Tanto was beautiful. Finishing was a little rough, I’ve seen the same fittings on other tanto’s, and the blade was loose in the Saya, I glued a small shim on the bottom of the opening, problem solved, but the quality is on the high side of good. Remember this is a 79.00 blade, Quality control in not at its finest. That being said, I enjoy the purchase and would buy another one if the need arises. Aesthetically it is a beautiful blade and makes for a good display piece. Its size might surprise you, the blade is over 12 inches long. I am overall Satisfied with the purchase.

The blade collard was not flat with the blade and the blade was not truly centered. I was very disappointed by the quality.

It came well packaged which is always a surprise nowadays and the presentation was great. The blades quality is nice a bit heavy but that’s to be expected for this type of weapon. The sheath is nice with the black speckled pattern I do wish they covered the bottom of the sheath with paint instead of leaving it with a wood finish but it’s minute. Overall 9/10 especially for the price.

I'm an early Iaido student 2nd year and I wanted a small tanto to complement the shinken.
I didn't want something too big like a Wakizashi but for a tanto it's on the longer side.
Depending on your hand size this is a single handed tsuka.
For really small hands you might be able to get both hands around the tsuka.
I like the red and black tint on the tsuka that's what attracted me.
It looks great and I feel like the craftsmenship on this blade is worth more than it's value.
Note: blade seemed to come in dry no choji oil appeared to be on the blade. So check to make sure.

I’m not sure how sharp this is on the side, but the tip is very sharp. I think it’s a fun item to have around the house; even tho it’s small it’s still a little too big to be carrying around anywhere lol

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect being that I have never ordered from here before and I was quite happy with what I received. Also it got to me really quick which surprised me. Well worth an under $100 buy. Money well spent for any collector.
