## Description

desertcart.com : SV Mini Katana Samurai Sword Tanto Japanese Little Samurai Short Sword Printed 1045 Medium Carbon Steel Full Tang Hand Forged Sharp 16.53 inches : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Mid-sized option - SV does put a decent cutter together. The blade is 9.3" long (including Habaki), about 6.5mm thick, and 27mm wide (spine to edge) at the Habaki. An interesting detail not mentioned is that this line of mid-sized Tantos has the same dimensions as that priceless, "perfect" example kept in the Japanese sword museum. The Tsuba draws a magnet, but the rest of the Tsuka hardware does not. The tang draws a magnet until the last 1.75 inches of the 5.5" Tsuka handle. The whole Tanto dagger is 15" long, or a total of 17.25" with the Saya installed. It does feel very well built, being both perfectly straight and very sharp - equal in quality to the other SV products that I've been fortunate to own. Type-A & Type-B are dimensionally the same, aside from the obvious particulars: Type-B has that Unokubi Zukuri blade, which really is a great looking design. The extra grind angles add facets that catch the light, which is much better appreciated in person. Type-B should have more pictures from different angles to show how nice it looks. Type-B has a burnished surface to the blackened hardware on the handle, giving it more of a worn, weathered appearance, which looks much nicer than the pictures have effectively conveyed. As much as I appreciate the appearance of Type-B (Unokubi Zukuri) design, my true preference is for the Type-A model. What amuses me most is that half the comments posted here complain about the artificial Hamon. True, it is the least appreciated feature, but it is clearly shown in the product pictures, and all of us still chose to make the purchase.. That detail matters less and less, the longer I own this mid-sized masterpiece, and (if I choose) it can always be polished right out. If the Hamon REALLY does bother you, Type B does not have a Hamon of any kind. Unfortunately (because all 5 Tanto models have recently been joined together) the A.I. generated description is now made ineffective, because it tries to describe all 5 models with a single paragraph - and it isn't working very well.. The 27mm blade stock tanto earns a place accompanying a larger sword (Daisho), because it occupies less surface area at the belt line, compared to any of those large-sized Tanto swords. Things could get busy with too many larger handles to reach for. Or, if a more compact version of Tanto is preferable to carry, because both options are great to have. The Samegowa used on the Type A & Type B Tanto does have grit and appears to be genuine. The Itomaki isn't loose or sloppy, but I wrap it tight with hockey stick tape to keep it looking nice as possible. The leafy (gourd and vine) artwork appears as nice as the product pictures, but so does the entire package, really. Consider yourself fortunate, if you do like the artwork, because it decorates both sides of the Saya. Traditionally Sake was kept in a gourd bottle, back in those days of Samurai, so I am somewhat suspicious of the artistic expression being presented here.. Consider looking at the pictures of ALL the different models in this series - not just the one you like best. Within the comment pictures, Frenchie from Canada presented 14 pictures of his (Dragon vs. Tiger) model "D," but all 5 of these Tantos share many of the same basic design characteristics. You can learn more about the one you prefer, from studying the rest of them.. The Saya/Habaki fit is quite snug, at first, but it does relax a tiny bit more with use, just like the rest of their products I consider myself fortunate to own. And now (after a few days of owning it), I can pop the Saya off the blade, using just my thumb at the Kurigata. SV includes a little sword bag, with its perfectly efficient packaging. A clamshell box is used to present the Tanto, that is secured in place with 4 pieces of closed-cell Styrofoam. My package had the Tsuba trying to escape from the clamshell box, but fortunately there was an desertcart box preventing that from happening - and I am grateful for that extra protection. Fit and finish of these "SV" brand Tantos is on par with Handmade Sword company (HMS) products, in my opinion, and I really do like both brands. I haven't been disappointed with anything I have ordered from SV, to include their standard length katana, their 29" Wakizashi (20.5" blade), and their "Tanto-zilla" - seriously, that thing is a beautiful 19.5" little monster.. It dwarfs this 15" mid-sized Tanto, and it should be brought back into production because it is magnificent. You will find some cheaper crap that has been labeled "SV" (available here on the desertcart inventory), but this little group of mid-sized Tanto daggers are not part of that "decorative garbage" type. A critical eye and a little due diligence will help you discern THESE gems from that overpriced trash that also carries the "SV" label.. I regularly look for their sales because SV delivers a very decent product at a fair price, and I expect to order from them again. Probably another one of their mid-sized Tanto options. These mid-sized Tanto options are a great way to begin the journey of katana ownership - they are well made and won't ruin your budget. They are a terrific size for a presentation in a smaller room or a smaller home because they don't require a whole lot of space to store or display.
Review: Cool - Not bad for the price. Would probably shatter the handle if actually used but the assembly feels solid enough that maybe it wouldn't. Either way visually cool and fun to unsheathe and swing around. Sharp, but not razor sharp. Only major downside is the amount of debris and oil that is on the blade every time I unsheathe it. Have a cloth right next to it that I wipe it with every time I pull it out. It gets better and better but still after a couple weeks I'm still wiping it down nearly every other time. Mine was the simple design and it was worth the buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rare Unokubi type blade
*by B***R on November 27, 2023*

As soon as I saw this tanto I had to get it. It’s a unique style called Unokubi. It basically has a false edge on half of the back edge. This false edge isn’t sharp but is instead there to change the blade profile. This is uncommon for a tanto shape. You can see it next to a more traditional shaped tanto in my pictures. This tanto is very nice and has real ray skin Samegawa underneath the black cotton wrap. The only flaw it has is that the blade moves around in the saya. It stays in but does rattle around. At this price I would like to have the blade fit in the saya better but I’m very excited to get a Unokubi tanto.
