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.

High Manganese Steel Tanto with Red Lacquer Saya - Dragon Artwork, Black Cord Handle |
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.

T10 Carbon Steel Hamidashi Tanto with Real Hamon - Black Piano Lacquer Saya and Gold-Tone Fittings |
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.

Blue Manganese Steel Hamidashi Tanto with Etched Pattern and Black Carbon Fiber Weave Saya |
A fantastic Tanto! The craftsmanship is really great on everything, handle, scabbard, and blade, (which is very sharp by the way). This is my third order from truekatana and they’ve knocked it out of the park each and every time!! Highly recommended!
