Golden Dragon

This new addresses the many customer requests for a traditional tanto that many collectors wanted to complete their collection. A tanto was typically carried in combination with a katana. All tantos in this series are shipped with a traditional wooden sheath and a fabric bag for storage or for safe transportation. The golden dragon seems humble yet impressive at the same time. The 1045 carbon steel blade has a fine satin finish with a decorative grind that features the traditional hardening line. The elaborately designed tsuba creates a special appeal. The cotton-wrapped hilt, the genuine ray skin, and the golden-colored menuki round out the dignified appearance.

Decorative or collector's sword, not suited for use!

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
