Tanto

A Tantō, meaning “short blade” in Japanese, is a traditional Japanese sword (nihonto) historically wielded by the samurai class during feudal Japan. Its origins trace back to the Heian period when it primarily served as a weapon, but over the years, its design evolved to encompass intricate ornamentation. Tantō found application in traditional martial arts (tantojutsu) and experienced a resurgence in the West during the 1980s, as its design influenced the development of common blade patterns in modern tactical knives.
