Handmade Short Japanese Tanto Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon Handmade Short Japanese Tanto Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon

This Tanto is simple and elegant. Just what I wanted. A couple of finish points could be improved, to be honest. The Saya, scabbard, had a small raised rough spot from debris in the finish. The point where the Habaki, ferrule, meets the blade at the Mune-Machi, notch at the back, is rough due to uneven surface match of the two metals. The Ha, cutting edge, had a bur. This was easy to remedy with less than five minutes of sharpening. Not razor sharp, but it will pop a few hairs. To be fair, the price was reasonable, it was handmade, and it was shipped quickly. Customer service was excellent for me. They responded in a timely manner and were very nice. This Tanto is well balanced, feels good in my hand, and displays well. I am happy with this knife. I collect knives and this one is a beauty.

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 sword has a silver scabbard and hand guard. That's not what I ordered, I wanted the white one. Also the last 3 inches of the blade at the hilt was dull. Beyond that the blade is fairly sharp. For what I paid I guess this is what I get. Retuning it won't work as I'm disabled. Just know that I'll be going elsewhere to make future purchases. Thanks.

The sheath is very loose and slips off if I put it upside down so it’s a little dangerous to use can easily fall out of the sheath

The Tanto came as described and looked even more incredible in person. Truly a work of art that must be experienced, a picture with my android phone won't do it justice. Functionally sharp as advertised, will be a great show piece to go along with my collection. True Katana never misses, their products have been stellar.
