Gregs custom Step-Down The "Tanto"



Gregs custom Step-Back The "Tanto" ready for some mainland Mex action.

The Samurai "Tanto" was a small concealed single or double edged knife / dagger. It was the smallest of the double back-up to the "Katana" the largest sword and mid-sized "Wakizashi". The Katana and the Wakizashi together were called the "Daisho".
The Tanto was designed primarily as a stabbing instrument, but the edges can be used to slash as well. The "Katana", "Wakizashi", and "Tanto" will be a series of high-performance oriented wave slashing weapons for serious waves. I thought the Tanto and the Samurai sword moniker would be suited for these series of shapes.
