This is my first purchase. I am very impressed with my Tanto. Well made. razor sharp, looks fantastic, feels great, and comfortable to hold. Was packaged in a wooden box and wrapped up.
My family and I are in awe.
My only issue, and not really concerning, is that it’s a Japanese replica of an ancient weapon, but stamped China on it. I read that most all Tantos and Katana now come from China and I can live with that. It is a work of art. Beautifully crafted, I Will be looking at more items to purchase.
