Cumaru tanto
Details
ITEM EXCLUSIVE to our armory. One Cumaru Tanto (Gaïac of Cayenne or Tonka Dipteryx)
This wood is very hard! It is very good for contact against other Wakizashi Shoto or bokken. Has a fine to medium texture, with the grain varying from straight to irregular and/or interlocked. Cumaru is among the most durable lumbers on earth, with exceptional resistance to decay, rot, and insect attack.
Finally, Cumaru 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 Cumaru include: flooring, decking, exterior lumber, veneer, tool handles, and other turned objects.
Overall a very good wood for Tanto..
Proudly handmade in Quebec.
NOTE: Depending on the wood lot, the weapon may be darker or lighter.
