Japanese cold steel, together with its accompanying mythology and ethos, with its
unabated force still inspires the knife designers. Omitting the legendary swords
which form have been already exploited in all possible ways, the greatest success
was certainly achieved by tanto blade. It has already settled down in the market in its
American variant and still functions as one of the most popular types of the blade,
both in the case of the fixed and folding knives. Nobody is either surprised by the
braids on the handles or a
hamon – a pattern on the blade created by the selective
hardening process.
