In comparison to the katana or the wakizashi, the tanto is much smaller. In fact, it is already considered a knife. However, it is not an ordinary knife! This is usually used for puncturing or stabbing, and so it is vulnerable to cracking or breaking. Despite the thin point of the tanto, it is still thick enough and can withstand a painstaking torture.
The cutting edges of the tanto have two angles and when you sharpen them, make sure that you adjust the angles accordingly based on their grind styles.
