The Tanto is a Bladed Melee Weapon in.

Overview
The Tanto, or 'short sword' is a knife, available in the Shinogi style.

Just like the Knife, it allows for fast attack combinations, but has the drawback of being able to block less effectively.

It is capable of having Melee Mod slots starting from rarity, with a maximum of 3 slots at  rarity.

With the Dagger Dealer Perk in the Ninjutsu Skill tree, Tantos can be used as throwing weapons. When thrown, they will automatically be retrieved after a short delay. The delay is decreased the closer you are to the knife.
