Product Details
This tanto features a 12.5-inch nagasa forged from 1045 carbon steel with a striking golden finish. Heat-treated to 58 HRC, the full tang blade holds a hand-finished edge and presents a warm, luminous tone that sets it apart from standard polished steel. The golden coloring runs consistently from habaki to kissaki, giving the piece an unmistakable shelf presence.
The 6.5-inch tsuka is built on a full tang core and wrapped in burlywood cotton cord over white polyurethane leather samegawa. The ito wrapping follows a traditional diamond pattern with clean, even spacing, and the exposed samegawa panels add visual rhythm along the grip. A gold-tone menuki sits beneath the wrap, complementing the blade's warm palette.
At the junction of blade and handle, a round gold-tone alloy tsuba provides both a visual accent and a functional guard. The metal finish on the tsuba echoes the golden nagasa, tying the upper fittings together in a unified warm colorway that reads well from any angle.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in black piano lacquer with a subtle embossed pattern across its surface. At 12.5 inches, it houses the blade securely, while the burlywood sageo cord is tied in a neat bow around the kurikata. The dark saya creates a strong contrast against the golden blade and burlywood fittings, making this an excellent addition to any Fixed Tanto collection.
Measuring 21.5 inches overall and weighing 1.54 lbs, this tanto strikes a balance between compact display size and substantial hand feel. The cohesive gold-and-burlywood color scheme paired with the black lacquered saya makes it a standout piece among 1045 Carbon Steel short swords, suited for collectors who value bold visual design backed by traditional construction.
