Practical Plus Tanto

The Practical Plus Tanto is designed to complement the highly respected Practical Plus Katana and Wakizashi, offering martial artists and collectors a high-quality, battle-ready blade at an exceptional value. Hand-forged and differentially tempered, this tanto follows the same meticulous process used in more expensive blades, delivering a hardened edge (HRC60) and a softer spine (HRC40) for superior strength and flexibility.

What is a Tanto?

Originating in feudal Japan, the tanto was traditionally carried by samurai as a secondary weapon for close combat and self-defense. Its sharp, single-edged blade was ideal for precise thrusting and slashing techniques, making it an essential tool in a warrior’s arsenal.

Key Features:

• Hand-forged 1566 carbon steel blade with an authentic hamon (temper line)
• Differentially tempered for a razor-sharp edge and durable spine
• Pre-sharpened and battle-ready, ideal for martial arts and tameshigiri cutting
• Designed to match the Practical Plus Series (Katana & Wakizashi)
• Manufactured by Hanwei under the direction of Paul Chen

For over two decades, the Practical Plus Series has been a top choice for martial artists across North America, praised for its quality, affordability, and cutting performance. Whether you’re expanding your collection or refining your technique, the Practical Plus Tanto offers authentic craftsmanship and functionality at a remarkable value.
