John Lee Shiro Tanto
Shiro means "white" and stands, among other things, for purity and holiness, but also for sadness and death in Japanese culture. Samurai would wear white clothing under their armor as a symbol of their unwavering determination to fight to the end.

- Shinogi-Zukuri style blade with filler (Bo-Hi), hand forged from 1045 high carbon steel.
