Moonshadow Dagger: Folded Steel Blade with Engravings & Kogarasu-Maru-Zukuri

• The tanto’s blade comes with Blade Engravings and Kogarasu-Maru-Zukuri (Blade Shape). There are always two bamboo mekugi (pegs) holding the handle together.
• A Brass Tsuba & Fittings. The most exquisite pieces of the sword, the tsuba, koshira, menuki, and fuchi add its finishing touches.
• For the best sheathing and handling, great swords always need a good sheath. This sword has a Black Ebony Wood Saya and Handle (Tsuka-Ito)

This sword has a total sword length of 12.6″ ~ 32cm. Its blade measures 7.8″ ~ 20cm, and its handle 4.13″ ~ 10.5cm.

We make every blade to order, using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

This is all to ensure top quality for you. No two pieces are alike – so unique designs are forged and assembled specifically for you. Whether it be cutting ability or a piece of art for the house… Our full catalogue of tanto swords can be found here. Here’s what will happen right after you order:

We hand-forge and perfect your sword

Your order will start processing 24 hours after you place it. This is a time we leave for any changes you’d like to make. A couple of days later, our master swordsmith starts to forge your sword’s blade. About a week later, our togishi (blade polisher and sharpener) takes charge to finish the blade.

It’s then time to assemble the sword. For most custom swords (in 85% of cases) we have blades, fittings, and other components ready to go. In these cases, the full assembly of the sword takes from one to two weeks. For more complex swords (in 15% of cases), it can take us around three-four weeks, up to at most six to have it assembled.

We send you pictures of your tanto/kanto knife sword for approval

Once the sword is ready and assembled, we take its pictures. We always do many angles to make sure everything is exactly as you ordered.

We send you these pictures by email. Your custom ninjato isn’t shipped until we get your full approval for the sword’s looks. There are big-size pictures taken from the front, from the side, and the top… And also close-ups of most angles.

We ship your custom-made tanto/kanto knife

Once you approve the pictures, we send your sword by either our Expedited or our Express Service. This ensures speedy delivery times.

• Expedited Shipping is Available in Australia, Canada, Germany, France, and the United States of America | FREE, takes two-three weeks to arrive
• Express Shipping is Available Worldwide | 49.95$ with UPS or FedEx, takes from three days to a week and a half to arrive

Please note that you can have an import tax to pay depending on your location. You must take into account since we cannot pay it for you and is not our responsibility. In most cases, it ranges from 10 to 40$ depending on your country and the price of your sword.

Our master forgers take their time to make sure each sword’s blade has just enough detail…

Whether you choose a simple 1060 High Carbon blade, or want a more complex blade, like a Folded or Clay-Tempered one… Or perhaps even a Kobuse blade… Our swordsmith can create pretty much any design you wish for.

Then our assemblers take care of creating the best sword possible with the remaining pieces… like the habaki and seppa, the tsuba and its fittings, and the saya and sageo pairing.

If you look closely at our swords’ adornments, every piece looks as though it belongs right where its meant… On top quality blades, such as these only found in storybooks or movies about medieval Japan. And yet, they exist for a fraction of the price, here and now.
