Product Details
The blade on this tanto is forged from 1045 carbon steel and finished in a deep, saturated blue, with a wave-style hamon line etched along the edge that catches light from multiple angles. The raging fire profile gives the blade an expressive silhouette - more dramatic than a plain polish, and purpose-built for display presence. At 21 inches overall, the proportions stay true to the compact tanto form.
The handle is built on a full tang core, wrapped in black ito cord over a black PU samegawa base. The tight, even wrap pattern keeps the grip looking clean and structured. Brass-tone habaki collars the base of the blade, providing a firm transition point between blade and handle.
The tsuba is cast in a gold tone with a chrysanthemum theme - the floral relief detail is sharp and well-defined, sitting flat against the black tsuka to create a strong color contrast. Paired with the gold habaki above, the fittings create a cohesive metallic accent that runs through the koshirae.
The blue hardwood saya is lacquered and hand-decorated with a scattered gold vine pattern. The lines run irregularly across the surface, giving each saya a slightly different visual texture. A black sageo cord is knotted at the koiguchi for a finished look. For collectors interested in Blue Hamidashi variations or the broader range of Short Tanto styles, this piece fits naturally within that aesthetic family.
Total length is 21 inches. Shipping weight is 3 lbs, packaged in a 23 x 2 x 2 inch box. The decorative stand shown in product images is not included.
