Japanese Samurai Tanto
The Japanese samurai knife “Doragon” translates to “Dragon”. This elegant tanto is crafted from clay-tempered 1095 carbon steel, hand-forged, and comes with a saya made of hardwood and ray skin. The blade is traditionally sharpened with Japanese waterstones to a razor-sharp edge.
The exceptional craftsmanship, premium blade, and elegant appearance elevate this Japanese tanto to a true standout among samurai knives.
„Reflecting on things in advance and then effortlessly accomplishing them when the time comes, that’s what it’s all about.“
