Damascus Red Tiger Tanto

Compact but commanding, the Red Tiger Tanto is a blade built for close quarters and precise control. This tanto carries the iconic ripple of Damascus patterning, a visual mark of strength layered over generations of tradition.

The 23cm blade is full tang, with the steel running through the entire handle for rock-solid durability. Paired with detailed brass fittings, a black cotton wrap, and genuine rayskin, the grip offers an authentic, secure feel worthy of its samurai heritage.

A bold red wooden saya adds a striking contrast to the monochrome handle, giving the Red Tiger its signature look, fierce, refined, and impossible to ignore.

Whether displayed or worn, the Damascus Red Tiger Tanto speaks to warriors of purpose and precision.
