Japanese Combat Knife
The Japanese samurai tanto “Kogane no Bara”, translating to the “Golden Rose” in Japan, is a finely handcrafted samurai knife made from T10 steel, and comes with a hand-decorated saya made of genuine hardwood. The handle is traditionally covered in real ray skin and tightly wrapped in polyester. The exquisite violet-red galvanized blade is polished with sand.
The superior craftsmanship and the galvanized blade make this Japanese tanto a true standout.
