Shikoto Longquan Master Tanto - Outlet

Own one of the revered parts of the regalia of a Samurai warrior when you purchase our Shikoto Lonquan Master Tanto. Carried by the legendary Samurai class, when you hold a Shikoto Hammer-Forged Longquan Master sword in your hand, you are holding the same weapon a warrior used more than 2.500 years ago. Using methods used by Bronze Age swordsmiths, the tanto has a 12 3/4” T10 high carbon steel blade that has been hammer-forged and clay tempered to produce a visible hamon line. Differential hardening gives the magnificent blade a harder cutting edge and a softer spine, which is the hallmark of a high-quality weapon. The katana-themed tsuba and handle fittings are of solid iron and the wooden handle has traditional cord wrapping over genuine, tea-dyed rayskin. A black lacquered and polished wooden scabbard with cord-wrapping houses the blade. Also included with the Shikoto Longquan Master Tanto is a certificate of authenticity with forging specifications, signed by the master swordsmith. More information...
