High quality, extremely sharp, excellent balance, and beautiful. I walk my 4½ pound Biewer Terrier in my back woods. Trailcams have captured single and double coyote and groups of feral dogs. I have the tanto on my belt and feel very safe and able to protect my tiny dog should I need to.

Honestly? It turned out a lot better than I expected. It had a decent weight. it's well balanced, and it comes sharpened and oiled. Not only that, but it just looks gorgeous. I got it as a gift for my old man, and boy did he love it. It's a great piece to have and to give as a gift, truly.

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 tanto was beautiful exotic wood grain looks and feels great was a little loose in the scabard but used the old samurai wax trick and now it's good I'm not sure what the wood is maybe tiger wood but is super attractive and with a couple of coats of oil it is amazing blade is razor sharp I've already ordered some other pieces from true katana as there selection and unique designs are very cool and the pricing is good something for everyone at different price points I'm glad I stumbled onto true katana as for shipping this item took about a week

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel |
You get what you pay for. It’s a $70 tanto, certainly sharp and cool, but straight out of the packaging with messed up leather under the wrapping and the leather looks like white styrofoam.

Really excellent quality. Especially considering the price. I wouldn’t describe it as especially sharp, but that takes hours and would Jack the price up.
I like it.

Very exquisite piece. Really well made. Has the weight that lets you know it is not a cheap piece of work. This is a real showpiece.

Handmade Japanese Double Edge Tanto Sword Full Tang |
Seems the metal is very good quality. The furniture is a good quality. The size of the Tonto is a little large, more like an O Tanto. Still that’s a minor point. It’s a great blade.
