ITEM EXCLUSIVE to our armory. Ipe, Brazilian Walnut Tanto.

This wood is very hard! It is very good for contact against other Wakizashi Shoto or bokken. Tough as nails! Has a fine to medium texture, with the grain varying from straight to irregular and/or interlocked. Ipe is among the most durable lumbers on earth, with exceptional resistance to decay, rot, and insect attack.

Finally, Ipe is a wood of extremes: extremely dense and durable, as well as extremely difficult to work. Its incredible hardness and strength make it well suited for flooring applications. Some common uses for Ipe include: flooring, decking, exterior lumber, veneer, tool handles, and other turned objects.

Overall a very good wood for Tanto..

Proudly handmade in Quebec.
