Description

The Cold Steel CS88T O Tanto from the prestigious Emperor Series is a masterfully crafted, battle-ready sword designed to honor traditional Japanese bladesmithing while delivering modern durability. This impressive piece features a hand-forged 1060 carbon steel blade with a mirror-polished finish and a prominent fuller groove, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and overall balance.

The CS88T O Tanto comes housed in a beautifully lacquered wood scabbard (saya), which protects the blade and complements the traditional look with a rich black finish. A blue cloth storage sleeve and boxed presentation complete this premium offering, making it a fantastic gift or centerpiece for any edged weapon collection. Whether you’re a historical weapon enthusiast, practitioner of Japanese martial arts, or a collector of fine blades, the Cold Steel CS88T Emperor Series O Tanto delivers quality, craftsmanship, and striking design in one outstanding package.
