FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes this Black Tanto distinct?
The black presentation is the main visual cue, while 1095 high carbon steel anchors the material comparison.
How does it compare with red or white Tanto pages?
It stays in the compact Tanto category but uses a darker visual direction.
What details keep the page grounded?
Use black presentation, 1095 high carbon steel, compact Tanto format, and product photos as the main cues.
How do I maintain the blade?
Wipe dry after handling or use. Apply a light coat of choji or mineral oil along the full blade length before storing. Carbon steel will develop surface rust if left wet or unprotected β a minute of care after each session keeps the blade in condition indefinitely.
How do I know the quality is genuine?
Every sword is individually inspected and adjusted before leaving our California warehouse. We check edge geometry, fitment of all components, and the security of the mekugi pegs before packing. If anything is not right, it does not ship.
