Product Details
This shirasaya tanto features a 12.5-inch T10 carbon steel blade that has been clay tempered and oil quenched to reach 58 HRC hardness. The differential heat treatment creates a distinctive real hamon line that runs the length of the nagasa - visible as a subtle, wavy temper boundary between the hardened edge and softer spine. The blade surface carries a hand-polished chrome finish that highlights every detail of the hamon pattern.
The aikuchi-style handle measures 6.5 inches and is crafted from natural rosewood, left unfinished to display the wood's organic grain and warm, honey-brown tone. A single mekugi pin secures the full tang through the tsuka, and a black buffalo horn collar sits at the base where handle meets blade. There is no traditional tsuba guard, staying faithful to the clean shirasaya silhouette.
At the junction of blade and handle, a bronze-tone alloy habaki collar features an intricate openwork orchid motif. The pierced metalwork adds a layer of visual detail that contrasts beautifully against both the polished steel and the matte rosewood, giving this Tanto Blade a distinct character among aikuchi designs.
The matching rosewood saya measures 12.5 inches and shares the same natural grain finish as the handle. A black horn koiguchi reinforces the scabbard mouth, and the fit is snug enough to hold the blade securely with a satisfying click. The matte wood surface feels smooth in hand and resists fingerprints, keeping the presentation clean.
At 21.5 inches overall and 1.5 pounds, this T10 Tanto strikes a balance between compact size and substantive weight. Each piece is individually forged and finished by hand, so minor variations in hamon pattern and wood grain are expected - making every unit a one-of-a-kind collectible. Sword stand not included.
