The yoroi toshi is an extra thick tantō (Japanese dagger like sword) which appeared in the Sengoku period (late Muromachi).[4] The yoroi toshi was made for cutting (piercing) through armour[5]and for stabbing while grappling in close quarters, it ranged in size from 20cm to 22cm but they could be under 15cm, with a "tapering mihaba, iori-mune, thick kasane at the bottom and thin kasane at the top and occasionally moroha-zukuri construction".[6]The yoroi toshi motogasane (blade thickness) at the hamachi (the notch at the beginning of the cutting edge) can be up to .5 inches thick which is a characteristic of the yoroi toshi style of tanto. The extra thickness at the spine of the blade identifies the yoroi toshi from a standard tanto blade. Yoroi toshi were worn inside the belt on the back or on the right side[7]with the hilt toward the front and the edge upward. The later also gave it the name metazashi (mettazashi, めった刺し[8] "right side wear".
