For those who will actually use the Tanto
For starters, I have used this Tanto outside of almost any expected uses, and I was pleased (after I sharpened it). It came decently dull, and with the 1/4 inch of blade at the tip about half the width of the tip of a fork. I bought some whetstones, and an hour of sharpening it was sharper than any razor I had ever touched, cut myself just feeling the blade to see how well I did. I proceeded to use the knife for weeks with no problems. I struck cedar and oak with it thousands of times, Sheath got loose, I was gonna make it tight agin but I broke it in half. It was shiny until I stabbed through a lemon, so I’ll have to polish the blade. but yeah, it’s cut through erosion matt’s, 3” diameter cedar branches, oak, my gloves, and a whole lot more after sharpened. Edge retention is great, after so much use it’s still sharp, i used it for construction and land clearing uses. also the whole blade moved about an 1/8th in in the handle, so there no longer aligned

5.0 out of 5 stars Really nice tanto!
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017
Color: Ebony ScabbardVerified Purchase
This is a light, well made, beautifully balanced blade well worth the price. I do have some nitpicks, however. They involve the kissaki, which is the hardest part to get right. First, the right side yokote is about 1/8 inch further back than the left side. Second, the yokote on the left is not quite vertical although it is straight. Third, neither side was polished but left matte, which totally obscured the boshi. Some metal polish helped highlight the hamon a bit. It also highlighted the grinding marks and scuffs. It kind of stands out more because of the very nice polish of the rest of the blade but it's not a deal breaker. The hamon is nice but you do have to catch the light just right to see it well.

The wood of the saya and tsuka is beautiful and holds the blade very securely. Some areas of the koiguchi do stand a little proud but not visibly - it has to be felt. The join itself is almost invisible. You have to give a good push to completely seat the blade and firm tug to draw it. I just read in the questions that the tsuka is not removable - I hope that's not true as I was planning on putting a traditional tsuka on but haven't tried taking it off yet.

The blade came sharp but not shaving sharp and still isn't even after stropping but slash at something and it goes through effortlessly. Overall, it's a very good value for an outstanding, if not perfect, tanto. I think I'll keep it.😊

Absolutely perfect knife. Quality consistent with 250$ tantos. The steel is top notch quality and it’s beveled and sharpened perfectly. This knife certainly upholds the Japanese tradition of sword making. I’ve never had a blade with a real Hamon before it’s awesome. Slices a watermelon in half with ease.

No it isn't a tamahagne blade forged by a blind swordsmith on Mt. Fuji but for the price it's a very well made and good looking knife. It came with a small bag of what appears to be ebony sawdust. Not sure what that's for but I'm happy with my purchase. Very sharp T-10 and the hamon is real. Buy it- you won't regret it.

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022
Color: Ebony ScabbardVerified Purchase
It is a nice knife, well made blade and if it were not for the crack through the handle I would be very happy. but the crack goes all the way down to the tang and travels through one of the rivets. So I am not confident in its integrity and the crack has enlarged since I received it.

Great quality and craftsmanship for the price. The mahogany is beautiful and the grain is aligned across the two pieces. My only slight complaint is some minor tooling damage to the tsuka. It looks like a clamp might have slipped or lost padding and caused a couple small scratches in the wood. Otherwise it is perfect. It is definitely a hand made sword.
