First appearing in Japan in the Heian period (794-1185), the tanto dagger was often worn alongside the tachi and later Katana swords. Early tanto-like blades were often made from broken longer swords, or even yari spearpoints. It was customary for a samurai, upon entering a home peacefully, to remove his katana and keep his tanto on his person. In the decades prior to WWII, the tanto came into vogue and was commonly worn again.
This sharp tanto, made by Musashi, is made from carbon steel and is securely mounted into its tsuka handle. It comes with a lacquered wood saya scabbard.

Buck Knives Fixed Omni Hunter 12 Pt Knife with
Black Handle and Guthook Blade
"What can I say - It's a Buck! Excellent feel and of course very sharp.
I have owned many Buck knives over the years (I'm 69) and I have never been disappointed."

Buck Knives Spitfire, Green Aluminum, Plain
"I find this knife to be a solid edc performer. I have been carrying it for about
two eeeks now. I am a contractor and I am tough on blades. I like the pocket clip and how secure it is.
Most picket clips fail for me after a while. This seems to be very strong and durable.
The blade is easy to sharpen.If it had an assisted opener it would be a 5."
