Shinto Tanto for Sale

Shinto tanto showcase Edo-period swordsmiths at their most artistic. During this era of peace, smiths like Kotetsu and Shinkai applied their creative energies to the tanto format, producing compact blades of remarkable beauty with flamboyant hamon and innovative forging techniques. Shinto tanto are generally better preserved than Koto examples and represent accessible masterworks.
