Dojo Pro 1060 Steel Tanto #1

As always, Ronin Katana delivers. I have collected katanas and European swords for years, and have only started collecting tantos within the last 8 months or so. With this is mind, a few admin points: 1, I am not an expert. 2, This is not an antique. It is a modern blade. 3, You know more than me, and one day I hope to be as knowledgeable as you (fingers crossed), With these facts agreed upon, this tanto is seriously bad ass. I have purchased a few products from Ronin Katana, but I was blown away when I received this tanto on how clear and perfect the Fuchi and Kashira are. It cannot be conveyed in words. I have other tantos, both in the same price point and also ones that are much more expensive, and those examples contain kashiras with muddled lines or sloppy grind lines still visible. The dual bohi is awesome, and accentuate the blade so well. Every inch of this tanto is flawless, except for one small, cosmetic issue, in my opinion. I do not understand why the sageo is left untied. In vain, I have done my best attempt to follow the red triangles tutorials on how to tie a sageo, but I've yet to be successful in that endeavor. From a macro level, this is a minor blip. Do not let this one fixable issue prevent you from buying this tanto. You will not be disappointed, and going one step further, I would wager it will not be your last tanto you'll buy from Ronin. *Unless of course this is the last tanto you need to buy to complete your Ronin Katana tanto collection. If this is the case, I wager nothing **These are not the droids you're looking for**

Nice blade , fittings are nice but habaki was very scuffed and scratched.. it does fit ok but probably forced in at first also the saya with its glossy black piano finish was pretty dented and scuffed ??? A bit disappointing! But the blade itself is amazing, factory sharp as hell It decimates pool noodles with eeze ! Thats why four stars review

Great blade, great fittings and I couldn’t be happier with my first tanto! This tanto is a quality blade with a unique structure that is a perfect match for my katana.

It's a good Tanto just wish it matched my Katana and Wakizashi which it doesn't quite do and the sheeth is easily able to be scratched and dented

Thank You

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 !
