Product Details
The blade is hand-forged Damascus steel, shaped into a double-edged tanto profile with a polished chrome finish that catches light along both cutting edges. Layered Damascus patterning runs visibly through the steel, and a real hamon line marks the transition zone from the hardened edge to the body of the blade - a detail that speaks to genuine differential hardening rather than a cosmetic etch. The Damascus Tanto form has a long tradition of pairing compact blade geometry with intensive metalwork, and this piece follows that lineage closely.
The tsuka is bronze metal, engraved with dragonfly and bamboo motifs in a style consistent with classical Japanese koshirae decoration. A bronze collar separates the grip from the tsuba, and the pommel cap matches in both material and finish. The grip sits flush over a full-tang blade construction, meaning the steel runs the complete length from tip through handle.
The tsuba is bronze, plain in silhouette but consistent with the overall tonal palette. It serves as a clean visual break between the engraved tsuka and the polished blade without competing for attention.
The saya is bronze metal, and it carries the most elaborate surface treatment of the entire piece. Hand-engraved nature scenes wrap the full length of the scabbard - dragonflies, snails, insects, and floral vine work rendered in fine relief against the aged bronze ground. Two bronze fittings with bell-cap profiles secure the saya's mid and lower sections, each engraved to match the surrounding decoration. For collectors drawn to the Pattern Steel Tanto category, the combination of Damascus blade and fully engraved metal koshirae makes this an unusually detailed example.
Overall weight is 2 lbs. The set includes the tanto and saya only - the display stand shown in product images is not included. The bronze-over-chrome color scheme and dragonfly nature theme give this tanto a cohesive identity across every component.
