Product Details
The blade is forged from manganese steel and finished to a bright chrome polish, showcasing the tanto's characteristic squared kissaki with precision. Running along the flat is a hand-applied wave engraving accented with circular kamon motifs - a decorative detail that gives the otherwise clean blade surface a sense of movement and craftsmanship depth.
The tsuka is wrapped in deep blue cord over a blue PU samegawa base, following a traditional diamond wrap pattern. Gold-tone menuki are tucked beneath the binding at intervals, catching light through the cord gaps and adding warmth against the cool blue palette. The overall handle construction uses full tang assembly, running the steel continuously from tip to pommel.
The black alloy tsuba is cast with a raised chrysanthemum motif across both faces - a classic Japanese floral theme rendered in dark metal with fine petal definition. Matching black fuchi and kashira bookend the tsuka, keeping the hardware palette consistent. If you're exploring similar koshirae-mounted short swords, the Blue Hamidashi collection offers related styles in the same color family.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a deep blue lacquer, then scattered with irregular gold and multicolor flecks that create a starfield-like surface texture. A blue sageo cord is fitted at the kurigata, matching the handle wrap and completing the monochromatic blue scheme across the full piece.
At 22 inches overall and 3 lbs, this tanto fits cleanly within the compact short-sword category. For collectors interested in the full range of Full Tang Tanto Sword options, this piece represents a visually distinctive entry with its wave-engraved blade and lacquered saya combination.
