Ever since we severed ties after finding out about some extremely immoral business practices of Ronin Katana and it’s owner, we removed all of their products from our store permanently – and that included some bargain priced Tanto.
That left a little bit of a void in the hot specials section, so it’s time to start restocking and expanding on the iconic Japanese war knife.
So here’s what’s on offer!
Ryujin “WHITE FANG” O-Tanto
We had this one listed before for around $125 – it’s hardly traditional, but badass factor is through the roof. The blade is long enough to qualify it as O-Tanto, also known as Ko-Wakizashi – so it’s a hybrid dagger/shortsword in technical terms.
But in practical terms, it’s a piece of deadly modern art (monotempered 65mn spring steel sharpened blade) – and now priced so low we might as well just give it away..
Ryujin Sunobi O-Tanto in Shirasaya
Like the white fang in the previous listing, the Sunobi is classified as a hybrid blade – most Tanto have blades around 11″ max, but at 13″ this qualifies as an ‘O-Tanto’. Monotempered 1045 carbon steel blade with rosewood fittings, it’s full tang and epoxied in place, but quality to price ratio is off the charts..
The Bargain Tanto Series (All blades $39.95!)
Now O-Tanto, Ko-Wakizashi are fun – but we also need some more traditional tanto. So we aimed for three things:
- Blade quality – spring steel at a minimum. Monotempered, sharp and tough.
- Style – the first three are all ‘cool’ – blades are all the same, but each Tanto has a distinctly different feeling and style
- Price – we want these to be a total bargain. And they are – ALL of the blades below are just $39.95 (though the margin is so low it may need to be adjusted without warning)..
I think we achieved these goals, take a look at each model and decide for yourself (just click the picture to be taken to the full product description and listing in the store).

All this and much more in the HOT SPECIALS and KNIFE, TANTO & DAGGERS sections of our site respectively!
