Tanto

Tanto - 15.7

Epic Armoury’s Tanto is one of the smaller latex weapons in the Asian Universe collection. Inspired by a historical weapon of Japan, the Tanto goes perfectly with a samurai set of swords. The 9.4in  blade is straight with a single-edge, meeting a small oval crossguard that protects the 4.5 handle wrapped in leather.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your Asian-inspired kit.

History
