Frequently Asked Questions

Are these genuinely antique?
No. These are newly forged tanto with controlled aging treatments that create the visual character of antique swords. The blade construction is new; the aged appearance is intentional surface treatment.
What aging techniques are used?
Controlled blade patina, distressed fittings, weathered scabbard lacquer, and worn handle wrapping. The techniques create authentic-looking age character.
Is blade quality affected by aging treatment?
No. The blade beneath the aged surface is genuine hand-forged carbon steel with full-tang construction. Aging affects surface appearance only.
How should I maintain antique-style tanto?
Oil the blade normally but avoid polishing away the intentional patina. The aged character is part of the aesthetic and should be preserved.
