This expertly crafted tanto features a T10 steel blade forged in the traditional Kanmuri-Otoshi-zukuri style. The blade is clay-tempered, resulting in a beautiful, natural hamon, which is further highlighted by the full mirror-polish finish. Known for its durability and sharpness, this tanto is designed for both collectors and practitioners.
The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in high-quality cotton ito over a genuine ray skin (samekawa) inlay, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip. The iron sawtooth tsuba with brass fuchi-kashira adds both aesthetic appeal and functionality, making this tanto strong enough for real use.
