	JAPANESE SWORDS - UNUSUAL TYPES OF TANTO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This style of tanto may have been carried by attendants to high ranking samurai whose job was to remove the heads of dead enemies as "trophies of battle".
		Tanto in koshirae simulating a folded Japanese fan are not particularly uncommon.
		Small yari tanto were sometimes carried as dirks (kwaiken) by women or as armor piercing tanto by samurai.

		Tanto was a lad of 14 when his father took the family (self-made) bushi to battle, as part of some larger campaign that meant little to Tanto.
		Tanto saw the enemy bushi coming towards his village and fled to the forrest, only to see the remains of his family all killed.
		Tanto is ever on the lookout for a good job, one where he can shine in front of some daimyo perhaps or at least get paid well.

	Japanese Sword - General Tojo's Tanto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the course of the initial archival research the tanto was initially catalogued by the one-time curator/property officer known as Colonel Judge.
		In a later visit to the museum, during a hands-on evaluation of the swords, General Tojo's tanto was taken from the display case in the museum and then evaluated.
		It was apparent that the replacement tanto was not correct for the shirasaya handle since it was too short and too narrow to properly fit in the handle and scabbard.

	AikiWeb Aikido Forums - Tanto Shiai Demonstration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		What is interesting about the application of tanto randori in relation to other 'schools' of Aikido is the premise of being attacked, knowing who is going to do it, knowing which hand they are going to use to attack and indeed knowing the general area of the body that is going to be attacked....!
		I agree that there are times when everything comes together in harmony during shiai or tanto randori and it's as if the universe stands on its end as you are in total harmony with your opponent/partner knowing that it is not set up or choreographed but "real" so to speak.
		Tanto randori and shiai are integral to his core concept, so is toshu.

		The panel graphics look dodgy, the shut lines around the loading drawer are uneven, and the two sections of the display are inconsistently lit (though thankfully it can be turned off from the supplied full-system-remote control).
		The Tanto made a positive impression in the unsighted panel tests.
		Although a bit on the dull side, the Tanto was felt to be an attractive player, with a firm sense of purpose, capable of driving the music hard, with a solid feeling of presence and real authority.

	Amazon.ca: Music: Tanto Tempo (Brazil) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Relying mostly on acoustic instruments and some muted orchestrations, Tanto Tempo is nonetheless smartly paced to allow for some tasteful dance-club electronics to augment a few tracks, and ends on a celebratory note with "Close Your Eyes"--all but an invitation to Carnival.
		Tanto Tempo is an even-tempered statement that manages to showcase Bebel's own sexy voice while gracefully remembering the past.
		There is a certain kind of mid- to late-summer day that is characterized by hazy sunshine, warm, languid breezes that seem to carry a whiff of the salty sea and cool, mellow music playing somewhere in the background on a radio.

		The Tanto School is truly a 'big small school, in a big world'".
		As it turned out, he was not given any homework and the school discipline was not as good as we wanted it to be - something the Tanto School has always been good at.

	Amazon.co.uk: Music: Tanto Tempo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tanto Tempo has had more remixes done over the last few years by various outfits than any other album I could think of, it's the remixes of tracks that misled me to listen to them in there original format.
		As I have found the whole Tanto Tempo experience quite downtempoe to dull, there's some refreshing electronica and bossa nova and Bebel's voice is perfect latino and fresh.
		The remix album is good as a bonus but there have been better mixes.Good value but nothing special and certainly not enough of a performance here to call her the new girl from Ipanema.

		This is also an extremely good all-around format, and like the clip-point, the drop-point is seen in a wide range of knives from hunters to military knives to utility knives and beyond.
		The classic Japanese tanto shape has the point exactly inline with the spine of the blade, and has a graceful belly curve.
		Other tanto formats have become popular also, and modifications such as clipping the point or applying a chisel-grind are often seen.

	Vtech Tanto Knives, Japanese Tanto Knife - Cozy Cook
		A Tanto is a Japanese blade or small sword.
		The Tanto differs from the others as it was designed primarily as a stabbing instrument, but the edge can be used to slash as well.
		Tanto are forged generally in hira-zukuri, meaning that they have no ridge-line, unlike the shinogi-zukuri shape of a katana.

		I think it is the same sheath that came with the original tanto and IIRC is called a Ki quick draw sheath since you can place the knife in the sheath and quickly withdraw it without removing the velcro keeper.
		I don't think they introduced the "recon" tanto until a few years ago -- that's the one with a kraton grip and Carbon V blade, I believe (I may stand corrected here).
		The steel was probably AUS-8A, which was used on the standard tantos, as opposed to the San Mai III, which was used on the Master Tanto.

		You just can't be the daughter of the two greatest Samba-Bossa musicians and have your CD come out not noticed.
		This results in a somewhat predictable pattern, the most serious aficionado being dissappointed that the young Bebel is not quite as perfect as Astrud and Joao Gilberto when they were at their acme, the classic jazz expert finding that "Tanto Tempo" doesn't approach the musical heights of Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd's...
		I find it pleasant, but if Tanto Tempo were to vanish tomorrow I would not feel compelled...

		Technically, a tanto is a knife with a guard on it, traditionally having the same furniture (guard and such) as is on a full sword (katana) but in appropriate proportions.
		Americanized tantos have a straight edge on the tip that liiks like a chisel up front.
		THe rounded tips are great penetrators where the americanized tantos are super strong and, if the blade has a good chisel grind, will create a larger wound channel.

	Bebel Gilberto Tanto Tempo CD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Bebel's new record Tanto Tempo is nothing short of a gem.

		Tanto Tempo is a great find of a CD.
