Hamidashi Tanto

The hamidashi tanto sits between a standard tanto and a full koshirae mounting — it has a small, rounded tsuba where most tantos have none, which changes the whole look and handling of the piece in a subtle but distinct way. It's a specific choice that collectors who know Japanese blade forms tend to appreciate. Every hamidashi tanto in this collection is properly forged and finished, with the small guard fitted and seated the way it should be. Whether you're a collector drawn to less common tanto variations or just want something a little different from the standard form — take a look at what we have below.

Beautiful blade. I’m very happy with my purchase. My only minor inconveniences are that the very tip of the blade is ever so slightly bent, and the sheath has very small damage (most likely from shipping). Other than those two things, everything about the piece is well made and aesthetically pleasing to look at and hold.

I love almost everything thing about this tanto blade. While I could nitpick over insignificant details, my only real complaint is that the blade could be sharper, but bare in mind, I've been a professional cook for nearly 30 years and I'm comparing the sharpness to culinary standards even though I have no intention of using it for cooking.
