The ideology from the country of japan is distinct due to their attention to detail, discipline towards mastery, and unrelenting pursuit of perfection. this ethos was transmitted to the samurai warriors that fought in feudal japan, with their swords swinging for the honor of the emperor. if those swords were knocked away, then the fighters would be left with their tanto knife. this fixed hand blade was given every design luxury as the primary weapon, be it swords or naginatas, and was tucked into the clothing and armor to make it available during hand to hand combat. the pointed tip of this blade was used to pierce through armor from close up, or more ideally to find the weak spots in that protection to deliver the final fatal strikes. while the usage of these knives has changed, the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness during their creation has stayed the same.. This tanto katana sword is the perfect gift for anyone interested in japanese culture or knife collection.. Please note: the sword stand or holder is not included.
