Introducing the Exquisite Hand-Forged TANTO:
This TANTO is a true masterpiece of Japanese sword craftsmanship, meticulously hand-forged and perfected using traditional methods to create a blade of exceptional quality and beauty.
Exceptional Blade Craftsmanship:
The blade is meticulously crafted from 1095 high carbon steel, ensuring both strength and sharpness.
It follows the Maru style with a clay temper line, resulting in a distinctive hamon (temper line).
The clay application during the tempering process creates a hard edge and a softer back, enhancing the blade’s cutting ability and resilience.
The blade is expertly polished using HAZUYA, a very fine and soft Uchigumori stone. This stone brings out the hamon and leaves a mirror-like finish on the shinogi-ji (blade’s flat area) and edge.
Minimalistic Elegance:
This TANTO features a minimalist design with no bo-hi (blood groove) or Tsuba (guard), emphasizing the blade’s purity.
The one-piece brass construction Habaki (blade collar) ensures a secure fit.
The Tsuka (handle) is made of hard wood and wrapped in red genuine Ray skin (Samegawa), providing a comfortable and secure grip.
The full tang is firmly secured by two bamboo Mekugi (pins).
The saya (sheath) is crafted from hard wood and wrapped in red real rayskin. The Koiguchi (scabbard mouth) is hardened using bull horn.
Versatile and Collectible:
This TANTO is not only a superb weapon for iaido and kendo practitioners but also a collector’s dream.
Its realistic, yet strikingly beautiful design makes it an ideal choice for both practical use and presentation to a friend or fellow enthusiast.
Each detail has been carefully crafted, making it a captivating and authentic addition to your collection.
