Dojo Pro 1060 Steel Tanto #1

This is an absolute beautiful piece and its razor sharp. All of the fittings and wrappings are tight and clean. This is another Amazing piece from Ronin Katana

Ever since I was younger, I liked Japanese knives and swords. However, I unfortunately only ever owned wall hangers that were passed off as "real". I did some research and Ronin Katana came up with good quality swords that are actually usable. I was slightly hesitant when I ordered but the price and quality are great. After holding it and swinging it, you can tell there is actual work put into these. The only odd thing I can think of is that the tip of the blade along the spine is slightly different in contour. At a glance I thought the blade was slightly bent but the contour was just throwing me off. It won't affect the functionality of the tanto but I see how some may want it to look just right. (Considering it says handmade I have no problem with it since it's unique) All in all, I love this and will be trying a wakizashi next. If you want a decent priced, usable tanto you'd be ok with this one. Will you ever have a chance to use it in a real battle? Probably not. But could you? Yes.

Tenía mis dudas si comprarlo o no. Tomé el riesgo y no me arrepiento. No soy experto pero por 70 USD se ve que el tanto es de buena calidad. A pesar de estar bien construido, como toda arma requiere de cuidado y mantenimiento (lo cual aun estoy aprendiendo a hacer). Existen buenos reviews en YouTube y los invito a revisarlos para ver el modelo de esta página en acción.

Very well made tanto great metal on its fittings as well !! Real genuine rayskin just all around well made. Im looking forward to buying the matching daisho set !

Exactly what’s advertised. It’s beautiful and usable.

A great deal for the money. The Ito wrap was way looser than on my #10 Ko Katana (by Ronin). I'd read critical reviews about the alloy fittings but for the price, I'd say they're ok and they at least are lightweight vs iron. The blade seems very nice and if it has some manufacture marks you can take the Tanto apart and polish everything. Says scabbard feels good. One of the gold colored metal ferrules fell out of the eye where the say wrap travels through. Pleasingly, this part was of brass and hard substantial thickness. I glued the part back in and it's better now. I think this is an amazing value for the money considering a multi tool often costs more. It's a big knife. My chief complaint is that Ito wrap, I can't fix that myself but it IS serviceable and does appear to be of silk. Took a star off for that wrap only.

Absolutely worth the money

This is a very nice tanto for the money. My daughter was really excited to get this for Christmas.

Every time I unsheathe the there is weird white stuff that gets on the blade and there is a small nick on the edge itself that was present when I received the blade. The glue or whatever is used to hold the gold string thingy on the outside of the sheathe came undone and there is a visual defect in the material under the cloth wrap on the handle. Other than those things the blade was a lot sharper than I expected and the small defects don’t take away from the fact that it looks cool. It was pretty cheap so I imagine the things wrong with it are unavoidable so overall 4/5
