Typically, the Japanese tanto blade was a knife or dagger that had either a double or single edged straight blade. The tanto knife was designed as a stabbing weapon but could also be used to slash at opponents. The tanto blade pairs well with ninjato, katana, or tachi swords as a set worn on a traditional obi (belt). The tanto knife is best used in close combat or as a tactical utility knife.
