Uses of Tanto:

3. Home Décor: A tanto can be used as a decorative item, often displayed in a box or a small stand. They combine appreciation for the blade's aesthetic and historical value.
4. Cosplay and Festivals: Tantos are often part of the costume in cosplaying, especially for characters in anime, manga, or samurai films. They're also used in festivals, often in dance performances or parades.
