What tanto styles are available in the carbon steel tanto collection?
Updated Feb 2026
Carbon steel tanto swords in this collection cover the main tanto configurations that collectors most commonly seek. Standard tanto in 1045 carbon steel are available in black and natural wood scabbard finishes with conventional tsuba guard and ito-wrapped handle - the most familiar and historically accurate tanto configuration. Shirasaya tanto in T10 carbon steel present the blade in plain unadorned wooden scabbard and handle, the traditional storage format that emphasizes the blade's steel character and hamon over ornamental fittings. Double-edge tanto feature symmetrical blade geometry where both edges meet at the tip, a distinctive variation that differs visually from the standard single-edged tanto profile. The Ghost of Tsushima replica tanto in 1065 carbon steel with a blue scabbard finish provides an anime-inspired option for collectors who want a tanto with design associations to popular Japanese media. Shirasaya tanto with T10 clay-tempered blades are available in white scabbard configurations, creating a visually striking minimalist presentation.
