Tanto | Traditional Japanese Short Blades & Daggers

About

The tanto is a traditional Japanese short blade or dagger, typically under 30 cm in length. Originally carried by samurai as a sidearm, it was used for close combat, self-defense, and ceremonial purposes. Known for its sharpness and strength, the tanto is prized for its compact design and exquisite craftsmanship. Our collection features hand-forged tanto made from premium steels, with authentic fittings and scabbards. Perfect for martial arts practice, historical reenactment, display, or collection, each piece embodies the precision of Japanese sword-making.
