Product Details
This tanto is forged from T10 carbon steel using traditional clay tempering and folding techniques. The process produces a distinctive real hamon along the 12.5-inch nagasa - a natural temper line visible as a zigzag pattern near the edge. Heat treated and oil quenched to 62 HRC, the blade delivers a hard, refined edge while the spine retains flexibility. The chrome-polished surface contrasts sharply against the hamon, giving the blade a striking visual profile that collectors of T10 Tanto swords will appreciate.
The tsuka measures 6.5 inches and is wrapped in brown cotton ito over black polyurethane leather samegawa, creating the classic diamond pattern with a secure, textured feel in hand. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, secured with mekugi pins for structural integrity. Brown ito against black same produces a warm, understated color combination that carries through the entire piece.
At the junction of blade and handle, a black alloy tsuba provides a clean guard profile. The habaki and seppa feature a brass-gold tone with a four-petal clover mon engraved on the face - a detail visible in the close-up that adds historical character to the fittings. The gold accent against the dark tsuba creates an eye-catching contrast point.
The saya is crafted from hardwood wrapped in leather, finished in matte black with hand-carved kanji characters raised across its surface. This textured carving gives the scabbard a tactile, dimensional quality rather than a flat lacquer finish. A sageo cord in brown and navy blue tones is tied around the kurikata in a traditional knot, complementing the brown ito of the handle. This style of carved saya is a hallmark of the Clay Tempered Aikuchi collection.
At 21.5 inches overall and 1.5 lbs, this tanto balances compactness with presence. The proportions are true to traditional Japanese short sword design, making it equally suited for a wall-mounted display, a desk stand, or as a centerpiece in a growing edged collection. Sword and scabbard included; stand sold separately.
