Product Details
The blade on this hamidashi tanto is forged from high manganese steel and finished to a chrome-bright polish, running full tang from tip through handle. At 21 inches overall and 2 lbs, the proportions are compact and well-balanced - true to the tanto form. The precision-finished edge and clean geometry of the blade reflect careful handcrafted work from experienced swordsmiths drawing on proven traditional techniques. Collectors looking to expand a Black Manganese Steel Tanto lineup will find this piece a strong addition.
The tsuka is assembled in classic koshirae style: a black leather outer wrap is laid over red PU rayskin (samegawa), producing a striking black-red diagonal pattern along the grip. The contrast between the dark outer cord and the red underlayer gives the handle a layered visual depth that reads well both up close and on display.
Sitting at the blade-handle junction, the gold-tone alloy tsuba is cast with a wave motif in relief. The warm gold finish stands apart from the predominantly black fittings, drawing the eye to the transition point and reinforcing the traditional koshirae aesthetic without overpowering the overall composition.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in deep black lacquer - smooth, hard, and consistent in color. The standout feature is the hand-painted dragon artwork positioned on the scabbard face: a vivid composition in red, white, blue, and gold tones depicting a coiling dragon in full detail. The black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, completing the mounting. This Black Hamidashi saya treatment is among the more visually distinctive options in the category.
Overall dimensions: 21 inches in length, 2 lbs. Packaged in a 23 x 2 x 2 inch box with a shipping weight of 3 lbs. Sword stand is not included.
