>> The tanto is a smaller version of the katana but differs considerably from it because it was designed primarily as a stabbing instrument with its edge used for slashing as well. Preferred from other swords because of its size, the tanto is often worn as a sidearm by the samurai either alone or with a long sword.

>> Sold with a genuine leather wrap, the blade of this sword is constructed of 420 J2 stainless steel with a faux temper line. Its handle is made from black ABS plastic core with a genuine leather wrap and solid cast brass fittings.
