Tanto, Hokkaido oak

Tanto, Hokkaido oak.

The Tozando tanto is a basic aikido training weapon made from quality Hokkaido oak. The tanto is used especially to practise distance, timing and technique against armed attacks. It helps develop precision, body control and well-timed reactions in a safe training environment.

The wood is planted, grown and processed entirely in Hokkaido, Japan, in the same place where the finished training weapons are made. This allows consistent material quality and careful quality control throughout the process. Hokkaido oak is a dense-grained, durable wood that stands up well to repeated use and keeps its shape with proper care.

The tanto has a traditional, well-balanced design. It feels solid yet light in the hand, allowing natural, controlled movement. A careful finish makes the surface pleasant to grip without being too slippery.

Dimensions: length approx. 29 cm, weight approx. 100 g. This tanto is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced practitioners who value durable material and a traditional finish.
