T10 Steel Tanto with Blue Blade, Black Hardwood Saya in Navy Blue Ito Wrap

The 12.5-inch T10 high-carbon steel blade is clay-tempered to 62 HRC, producing a defined hamon line that runs the full length of the nagasa. The blade carries a blue-tinted finish across the spine and flat, transitioning sharply to a polished chrome edge - a detail visible in the tanto's characteristic raging-fire hamon pattern. Full-tang construction runs uninterrupted from tip through tsuka.

The 6.3-inch tsuka is wrapped in navy blue ito over a black PU samegawa base. The diamond pattern wrap sits firm and even, with small ornamental menuki accents visible through the crossings. The handle provides a confident grip suited for single-hand display handling or presentation.

A round alloy tsuba in black anchors the transition between handle and blade. The gold-tone habaki collar sits flush beneath it, adding a warm metallic contrast to the otherwise monochromatic fittings. This tsuba-habaki combination photographs cleanly against both light and dark backgrounds.

The hardwood saya is finished in piano-black lacquer with a matte-textured stone pattern on the surface, secured by a navy blue sageo cord that matches the ito wrapping. At 13 inches, the saya fits the blade with a firm friction seat.
