Tactana Short Sword, Condor, 1075 Steel, 61303
Are you looking for a fusion of the legendary katana shape and modern, tactical indestructibility? That's exactly what the **Tactana Short Sword (61303)** from **Condor Tool & Knife** is. This sword eschews traditional materials like rayskin or silk wraps, opting instead for brutal functionality and durability. Its heart is a 5mm thick blade made from **1075 carbon steel** with a **full-tang construction** that runs through the entire handle. The blade is protected by a black powder coating for a tactical look and excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. Instead of a delicate wrap, you'll find a robust, **oversized Micarta handle** that provides a phenomenally secure grip in all conditions, even with gloves or when wet. This is not a display sword; it's an uncompromising field tool that comes with a handmade leather sheath. Further product information ...
Tactana Short Sword, Condor, 1075 Steel, 61303
A Modern Take on a Samurai Classic
While the blade shape and simple guard (tsuba) nod to Japanese short swords (wakizashi), the execution is purely modern and tactical. Condor has taken a proven design and transformed it into a tool for the 21st century.
- Full-Tang Blade: The blade is forged from a single piece of **1075 carbon steel**. This steel is known for its exceptional toughness and ease of sharpening in the field. The 5mm thickness makes it a nearly indestructible chopping tool.
- Tactical Finish: The black powder coating protects the 1075 steel from rust and prevents reflections.
- Micarta Handle: The handle features scales made of grey-black Micarta, an extremely durable laminate material that doesn't absorb moisture, won't crack, and offers a superb grip. The oversized design is perfect for working with gloves.
- Leather Sheath: The sword includes a high-quality, handmade black leather sheath for safe carry.

Safe Use Guidelines
This is a fully functional and sharp tool, not a toy. It is designed for chopping and outdoor activities. Its weight of over 1.3 kg and 5mm thick blade give it tremendous cutting power.
WARNING: Sharp Sword – This is not a toy!
- Always handle the sword with the utmost caution and respect. It is sharpened and can cause serious or fatal injury.
- Not intended for stage combat or blade-on-blade contact. Although 1075 steel is extremely tough, it is not indestructible, and impacts on other steel can damage the blade.
- The sword is designed for chopping suitable soft to medium-hard materials (e.g., branches, tatami mats). Never chop at rocks, metal, or extremely hard wood.
- Keep the sword out of the reach of children and unauthorised persons. Use is strictly at your own risk.
Sword Care
Thanks to modern materials, caring for this sword is easier than for a traditional katana. However, it still requires attention.
- Blade: 1075 steel is not stainless. Although most of the blade is protected by the powder coating, the cutting edge itself is exposed and prone to rust. After each use, especially in damp environments, clean and lightly oil the edge (e.g., with sword oil).
- Handle: Micarta is virtually maintenance-free. If it gets dirty, simply wipe it with a damp cloth.
- Sheath: Keep the leather dry. Occasionally, you can treat it with a leather conditioner to maintain its flexibility.
