Short Japanese Samurai Katana Sword

Crafted with meticulous precision, this brand-new, full-tang hand-made razor-sharp Damascus steel Japanese Dragon Samurai Tanto knife is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Steeped in tradition, the dragon holds a revered place in Japanese culture, symbolizing courage, luck, and strength, particularly for the esteemed Samurai warriors.

The Tanto's lineage can be traced back to the early Kamakura period, with the renowned Yoshimitsu, the greatest Tantō maker in Japanese history, leading the charge in its forging and development. The Tanto's popularity reached a zenith during the Muromachi period, before gradually declining in the Shintō period ("new sword" period) as the captivating Katana blade gained increasing prominence.

This exquisite Tanto blade is solidly constructed using Damascus steel, a testament to the master craftsmanship involved. The blade has been meticulously hand-hammered, ensuring a consistent hardness throughout. Adorning the steel-constructed tsuba is a mesmerizing, swirling three-claw Japanese dragon, while the tsuka is crafted from hardened ray skin, lending it a tactile, comfortable grip.

Accompanying the Tanto is a natural wood collector container box, a fitting display case for this exceptional piece of Japanese artistry. The attention to detail and the preservation of traditional techniques are evident in every aspect of this Handmade Damascus Steel Traditional Tanto.

The blade itself is made from a high-carbon steel, featuring the distinctive Damascus style pattern that has captivated enthusiasts and collectors alike. Measuring an impressive 16.5" overall, with a 9" blade, this Tanto knife is a striking and functional representation of Japanese swordsmithing at its finest.

In a world where mass-produced items often lack the soul and character of handcrafted masterpieces, this Tanto knife stands out as a true testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese craftsmanship. It is a remarkable fusion of form and function, a piece that not only captivates the eye but also commands respect and admiration.

Whether displayed as a collector's item or wielded with reverence, this Handmade Damascus Steel Traditional Tanto is a remarkable addition to any collection or arsenal, a timeless symbol of Japan's rich cultural heritage and the enduring spirit of the Samurai.
