High-quality Japanese Tanto Samurai Sword featuring a Hazuya-polished blade, ray skin handle, and matching saya. Crafted with precision and traditional techniques for an exceptional finish.

This handcrafted Tanto is forged using traditional Japanese techniques to achieve a flawless blade. Made from 1095 high carbon steel, the blade features a Maru-style lamination with a distinctive clay temper line. It is full tang with a chu-kissaki tip, meticulously refined and tempered. A special clay is hand-applied during the tempering process, with a thin layer near the edge and a thicker layer on the rest of the blade. This process ensures rapid cooling at the edge during quenching, resulting in a hard, sharp edge and a softer spine. The striking real hamon is a testament to the differential cooling process.

The blade has been expertly polished with Hazuya, a delicate Uchigumori stone fixed with paper, specifically used to enhance the hamon. This precise polishing creates a mirror-like finish on the shinogi-ji and edge. The blade is completely finished with Hazuya, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship.

This Tanto features a sleek design without a bo-hi (blood groove) or Tsuba (guard). It comes with a one-piece brass Habaki (blade collar) for a seamless finish. The Tsuka (handle) is crafted from hardwood, wrapped with genuine red ray skin (Samegawa), and secured with two bamboo Mekugi (pins). The saya (scabbard) is made from hardwood and wrapped in matching red ray skin, with a reinforced Koiguchi hardened by bull horn.

A stunning example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, this Tanto is perfect for iaido and kendo practice or as a remarkable addition to any collection. It also makes an excellent gift for those who appreciate authentic Samurai swords. Don’t miss this opportunity to own such an exquisite piece!
