Marto - Immortal Tanto

A Tanto "short blade" is one of the traditionally crafted Japanese swords worn by the samurai class in feudal Japan. The Tanto originates from the Heian period, when it was mainly used as a weapon, but over the years it evolved in design and became more and more artistic
The tanto is generally referred to as a knife or dagger. The blade is single- or double-edged and was primarily designed as a thrusting weapon.
Tanto are generally forged in the Hira-zukuri style (without a ridge line), which means that their sides do not have a ridge line and are almost flat unlike the Shinogi-zukuri structure of a Katana
Women sometimes carried a small tanto, called Kaiken, in their obi, mainly for self-defense
With the emergence of the Katana, the Wakizashi was eventually chosen by the Samurai as a short sword above the Tanto
