UNITED CUTLERY UC3213 SHIKOTO LONQUAN MASTER TANTO

Step into the legacy of the legendary Samurai with the Shikoto Lonquan Master Tanto — a weapon forged not just for battle, but as a timeless symbol of honor, craftsmanship, and heritage. This exquisite tanto blade connects you directly to the revered Samurai warriors who dominated the battlefield over 2,500 years ago, embodying the spirit and artistry of a bygone era.

Crafted with precision and tradition, the Shikoto Lonquan Master Tanto features a 12 3/4” blade made from premium T10 high carbon steel. This blade is hammer-forged and clay-tempered using authentic Bronze Age swordsmith techniques, resulting in a strikingly visible hamon line that showcases its exceptional quality. The differential hardening process creates a blade with an incredibly sharp, resilient cutting edge and a softer, flexible spine—giving you the perfect balance of strength and durability that distinguished master swords.

Every detail of this tanto radiates authenticity and elegance. The katana-inspired tsuba (hand guard) and fittings are forged from solid iron, providing both protection and an aesthetic boost. The wooden handle is wrapped traditionally with genuine tea-dyed rayskin beneath a supple cord wrap, giving you a secure grip while echoing centuries-old Samurai traditions. The blade rests securely in a sleek black lacquered and polished wooden scabbard, also cord-wrapped for style and function.

But the Shikoto Lonquan Master Tanto is more than a blade—it’s a piece of history you can hold. Each tanto arrives with an exclusive certificate of authenticity signed by the master swordsmith, detailing the forging specifications and paying tribute to the craftsman’s skill. Whether you’re a collector, martial artist, or admirer of fine weaponry, this tanto offers a connection to the legendary Samurai legacy in an unmatched, beautifully crafted form.

Own more than just a blade—own a masterpiece of warrior spirit, precision, and tradition with the Shikoto Lonquan Master Tanto.
