Cold Steel Emperor Series O Tanto

Cold Steel Emperor Series O Tanto

Our factory has used only traditional materials for our Japanese sword’s fittings. The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel), are expertly made and finely crafted in nickel-silver brass.

The Habaki (blade collar) is hand made out of nickel-silver brass and each hilt is covered in samé (ray skin) and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with black silk cord. A beautiful menuki (a small ornamental sculpture inserted between the ray skin and the cord wrappings on the handle) enhances the sword's aesthetic appearance and makes for a sword that is as traditional looking as we can possibly make it.

All feature fully sharpened 1055 carbon steel blades, each heat treated to a spring temper. The blade surface is then given a careful polish by hand, with a distinctive mirror polish applied to the bo-hi. All come complete with a black lacquered scabbard and a blue-violet cover bag.

Due to high demand around the World for Cold Steel swords and knives it is not always possible for this brand to keep up production with the sales around the World. Premium quality knives and swords are not mass produced, therefore we strictly offer all Cold Steel products on a delivered when available basis. If you require a faster delivery service please check availability as this item  may or may not be in stock. For this reason we are unable to offer a refund or exchange on on all special order items.
