Description
Above is a photo of the tang end of a typical tapered tang extra light blade. Tangs are 1/8 inch thick. These are approximately 3/4 inch wide at the blade and taper to approximately 3/8 inch at the pommel end threading. They narrow to a round rod threaded 6×1 metric for approximately 1 inch. This gives an overall default tang length of up to 6 1/2 inches. Custom tangs may have lengths of up to 7 1/2 inches. Also, please note: Our extra light tapered tang blades require a custom grip which may be ordered separately at a price of $20 each. We have added a shopping cart button below by which you can order wooden grips cut to whatever length you require.
When ordering, be sure to specify the desired blade length. Also, if you require a specific tang length, including threading, specify that as well. PayPal provides a buyer comment to seller option. The default if not specified is 36 inches and straight with a 6 1/2 inch tang of which 1 inch is threaded. If you order a grip, be sure to specify its length and finish. The default stain is brown.
