Product Details
This tanto features a 12.5-inch nagasa forged from high manganese steel, hardened to 60 HRC for strong edge retention and shock resistance. The chrome-finish blade is hand-polished to a clean, bright surface, with a subtle grain visible along the flat that speaks to the forging process. The edge is sharpened and transitions smoothly into a brass-toned habaki collar that seats firmly against the tsuba.
The 6.3-inch tsuka is wrapped in dark blue cotton ito using a traditional cross-hatch pattern over white polyurethane leather samegawa. The diamond-shaped gaps reveal the white underlayer in a crisp geometric rhythm, and the overall grip feels substantial without adding excess bulk. A black kashira caps the pommel end cleanly.
At the guard, a black alloy tsuba sits flush between the handle and blade. Its rounded profile is accented by a thin gold-tone ring at the base, adding a subtle detail that pairs well with the brass habaki above. The fittings are snug with no wobble, contributing to a solid feel when the sword is handled. For more options in this style, browse our Black Tanto Knife collection.
The black hardwood saya measures 13 inches and is coated in a high-gloss piano lacquer finish that reflects light like polished glass. A dark blue sageo cord is threaded through a gold-ringed kurikata and tied in a neat knot near the mouth. The koiguchi fits tightly around the habaki for a secure, satisfying draw. Those interested in this steel type can explore our High Manganese Steel Tanto selection.
With an overall length of 20.5 inches and a weight of 1.5 lbs, this tanto is compact and well-proportioned. The dark blue and black palette with brass and gold accents gives it a refined, understated look suited for shelf display or as part of a growing Japanese sword collection. Sword and saya are included; stand is sold separately.
