Dojo Pro 1060 Steel Tanto #4 BROWN

I ordered a pair, with brown ito. Looking them over, both blades look fantastic. Both of them came sharper than any sword I've bought from any manufacturer, which was a very nice surprise. One of them has 12.5 inches of blade, measured from the tsuba. The other is a full 1/4 longer. The diamonds don't alternate on the wrap, but the wrap on both is very tight. The saya on the shorter one gets an 7/10 because of rattle. The longer one is a solid 9/10, being perfectly snug with almost no rattle at all. I would definitely buy them again and will be adding other RK tantos to my collection in the future. The blades alone are worth the purchase price. I've spent a lot more on lesser knives. I 100% recommend picking one (or two) up. Unbeatable bargain.

The fit to scabbard was to loose. But the sword itself was awesome. Could be my OCD but I could not get passed it. The katana i bought previously was amazing and still love it!!

This is my second order from Ronin Katana and while my first order received 5 stars, I had to knock a point off this one due to a slight bend in the tip. Luckily I was able to correct it, for the most part, with a sharpening stone. Everything else was flawless and as with my previous order it arrived super fast. All in all though, it was a little disappointing and if I hadn't gotten it at such a steal of a price I would have probably been a little more upset. Would still love to check out one of their Ko Katanas and would recommend them in the future, but am a slight bit more leery for the moment.

Beautiful and as advertised

I have owned (9) of these various model tantos, and purchased more than a dozen with a business account giving them as military awards and retirement gifts. This particular tanto was disappointing. While the saya and fittings were beautiful, the blade's long fuller was uneven in length by 1/4 inch, and the smaller fuller was distorted (shaped like an aircraft wing profile) on one side. Pretty much every RK tanto over the years has been great. Some have differed in blade length within the same models, but non have had these issues until now.

Got the tanto to match the Ko Katana as a set for cutting exercises. As expected, performed well as with the katana. Strong and sturdy another workhorse good targeting. Cutting with Musashi style. Nito fencing. Good for the price for what it is designed for not being a wall flower it is a cutter and like all swords proper care in cleaning under use is important after use for proper function

I’m a total newbie so take my review with a grain of salt. The tanto did arrive slightly dirty and still had a sheen of industrial grease, the scabbard had a couple tiny scratches. Other than these small flaws the tool as a whole is obviously well built. The blade is decently sharp, handling the tanto feels nice. Very fun to wield and you can tell this thing can be serious if you are too.

This is my second tanto from Ronin. I’m a fan, they are great functional knives!!

There is no confusing what this tanto is for. It’s not the fanciest tanto I’ve ever seen, but it’s all business and designed well for that.
