Craftsmanship from Cambodia: The "Dragon Citadel Tanto" – Limited to 100 Pieces!

A masterpiece of swordsmithing has arrived at our warehouse. Citadel presents the "Dragon Tanto." Hand-forged, differentially hardened, and equipped with a rare full ray skin sheath. Act fast: There are only 100 pieces worldwide.

Those who know Citadel's work know this: nothing is machine-made here. In their workshop in Phnom Penh, unique pieces are created that breathe the spirit of ancient traditions.

We are proud to present the Dragon Citadel Tanto. This piece was made especially for us—in the style of their high-end custom swords, but as a strictly limited series of only 100 pieces.

Why this Tanto is special:

  • The Blade: Forged from DNH7 carbon steel and differentially hardened. It possesses a genuine Hamon (temper line) with a hardness of approx. 60 HRC at the edge and a flexible 40 HRC at the spine. Each blade is traditionally polished with stones.

  • The Fittings: Tsuba, Fuchi, and Kashira are not cast, but painstakingly hand-carved from pure iron.

  • The Highlight – The Saya: The scabbard is a work of art in itself. It is fully wrapped in ray skin (Same)—an extremely laborious and costly process that ensures maximum durability and a unique look.

Each Tanto is signed and numbered on the Nakago (tang) by the smith and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Since the Tsuka (handle) is custom-fitted to each individual blade, everything fits perfectly.

Secure a piece of genuine craftsmanship before the 100 copies are gone.
