Self-defense Black Knife Japanese Samurai Sword Tanto Carbon Steel Sharp Blade
TANTO
A tanto is one of the traditionally made Japanese swords that were worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan. The tant dates to the Heian period, when it was mainly used as a weapon but evolved in design over the years to become more ornate. Tant were used in traditional martial arts (tantojutsu). The term has seen a resurgence in the West since the 1980s as a point style of modern tactical knives, designed for piercing or stabbing.
The tanto is a sword, but is used as a knife. The blade is single or double edged with a length between 15 and 30 cm. The tanto was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well.
The blade of this sword is made of carbon steel. The high-performance blade has very good toughness and does not deform when bent at 90 degrees. The hardness is as high as 55. Cutting the wire does not hurt the blade. 
It can be used in battle or for display. We would highly recommend it as a gift. Anyone would be thrilled to receive a gorgeous sword as a gift!
