Product Details
The blade is forged from Damascus steel using a folded multilayer process, producing the distinctive layered grain visible along the blade's surface. A real hamon line runs the length of the edge, and the blade has been hand-finished and polished to bring out the contrast between the hardened edge and the body of the steel. The aikuchi format means there is no conventional tsuba in the traditional sense - instead, this piece features an oversized decorative eagle guard, which is a dramatic departure from classical Japanese design.
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine black rayskin, which provides both grip texture and a consistent visual tone with the rest of the piece. A gold-tone fuchi collar at the base of the handle transitions cleanly to the blade, offering a warm metallic accent against the otherwise all-black palette. The mekugi pin secures the full tang blade firmly within the handle.
The standout feature of this tanto is the black eagle tsuba - a wide-winged relief-carved guard with fine feather detail. Rendered in a dark finish, it creates a bold silhouette that dominates the midpoint of the sword. The eagle's spread wings extend well beyond the blade width, giving the piece a distinctive profile from any angle.

The saya is covered in genuine black rayskin, mirror-matching the handle material for a seamless all-black exterior. This unified surface texture across both tsuka and saya gives the piece a coherent, intentional design language. The rayskin grain catches light subtly, adding visual depth without breaking the dark overall tone.
Total weight is 2 lbs. The sword is sold without a stand. This tanto sits within the broader Damascus Tanto category, making it a strong option for collectors focused on pattern-steel short-sword formats with distinctive guard designs.
