Honshu Sub-Hilt Tanto

The tanto is the ideal sidearm for the warrior and the modern samurai alike. This Honshu Sub-Hilt Tanto is just that companion, designed to aid you in battle and emergency scenarios.

Ready for Battle

Originally, craftsmen and blacksmiths developed the tanto as a secondary option to the saber-like tachi, or the better-known katana. Over time, it evolved into an all-purpose utility tool for hunting, cooking, and crafting.

Forged from 7Cr13 stainless steel in the American style, the Honshu Sub-hilt Tanto is a fixed blade designed for strength and durability. The handle is crafted from TPR, also known as thermoplastic rubber. This gives you a textured non-slip grip with a checkered pattern and convex bumps in the middle. The handle is black, giving this combat knife a sleek style. Just below the stainless steel guard is a sub-hilt guard that’s also made of stainless steel. This sub-hilt gives you increased control and protection. The pommel, a stainless steel extension, has a lanyard hole.

Moving down the length, the iconic American tanto blade has a fuller running down most of it. At its base, the official Honshu logo is etched to show off its authenticity and quality. Its single-edged sharpness and hollow grind make it an excellent tool.

To easily store this tactical tanto when not in use, simply slip it into the included black polyester sheath. The sheath has a snap closure that secures this combat knife when you’re on the move.

Perfect for the Modern Warrior

Inspired by the revered weapons of the samurai, this companion blade is a functional piece of history. This steel knife is a tribute to the traditional tanto, a Japanese short sword used by samurai warriors for close combat.

As a cutting tool, few can match the power and adaptability of the tanto. When drawn, its length is intimidating to behold. Additionally, the sub-hilt is designed for practice cutting. This gives your grip better control over the blade, ensuring you can make precise strikes every time. It’s excellent for chopping and piercing and can become a capable cutting tool thanks to its single-edged sharpness.

It’s useful in survival scenarios as well. Whether you’re doing campsite tasks or creating makeshift shelters, this knife promises reliable performance in the wild. You can prepare kindling or cut rope with its exceptionally sharp edge. Use it as a trusted hunting knife preparing game or skinning hide. Its secure grip and sturdy blade will make sure it won’t slip from your hand when processing meat.

Securing it to your survival kit is a breeze thanks to the polyester sheath. Slip it onto your belt with the loop at the top. Or you can tie it to your tactical gear. Simply loop the cord through the bottom lanyard hole and wear it in any number of ways that best suit your kit.
