Mù-jīn, tantō sharpened wood (mù, 木) metal (jīn, 金) #Terressens

Mù-jīn, tantō sharpened wood (mù, 木) metal (jīn, 金)

Tantō 短刀 cutting edge with wooden scabbard (saya 鞘), supplied with protective fabric cover.


I was born in a forge.
Man came to find me in the heart of the earth to transform me, to magnify me, to make me the supple, light, lively blade I am today. I accepted the bite of fire, the power of the hammer, the coldness of water. Don't think this has weakened me; on the contrary, it's given me strength.
In my quest for balance, I chose to ally myself with natural wood, a symbol of growth, youth and creation.
I grew up in the heart of the earth, it grew far above me, but its roots had already forged a bond with me long before. And now we're together, perfectly matched, combining youth and suppleness, movement and flexibility... wood and metal elements.

Legislation

Since September 6, 2013, new legal provisions stemming from the March 6, 2012 law have come into force. These new rules have strengthened criminal penalties against weapons offenders and introduced a new classification.
Katanas, swords, daggers and knives are now classified in category D. The purchase and possession of these weapons are unrestricted. In principle, they may not be carried or transported without legitimate reason. If transported, the weapon must not be "directly" usable. It must be securely packed in a case or container, preferably with a padlock or other protective system.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Professional people, responsive and available. The Tanto I had to offer my friend did not correspond to her needs because the blade was too large (she had not seen the size of the blade in the technical description). Having seen the product and held it in my hands, I can tell you that it's top quality! Terressens was professional and responsive when it came to refunds. I can only recommend them with my eyes closed.
