Product Details
This tanto features a full tang manganese steel blade finished in a deep blue tone with a vivid white lightning-style hamon running along the edge. The zigzag pattern creates a dramatic contrast against the blue surface, giving the blade a bold visual identity that catches light from every angle. As part of the Blue Blade Manganese Steel Tanto collection, this piece showcases the striking effect of colored steel paired with traditional hamon aesthetics.
The handle is built on a hardwood core wrapped in black PU samegawa, then tightly bound with dark navy cotton cord in a traditional diamond pattern. Silver menuki ornaments sit beneath the wrapping, adding subtle detail visible through the cord gaps. The overall grip feels balanced and firm in hand.
At the junction of blade and handle sits an iron tsuba with an open cross cutout design, flanked by a polished brass habaki collar. The contrast between the dark iron guard and the warm brass tone creates a refined transition point that complements the blue blade above and the dark handle below.
The hardwood saya is finished in a striking black and blue crackle lacquer that resembles shattered ice or frozen lightning. Blue veins spread across the black surface in an organic, irregular pattern, and a matching dark navy sageo cord is tied through a gold-accented kurikata. This full tang tanto design ensures structural integrity from tip to pommel.
With an overall length of 21 inches and a weight of 2 lbs, this tanto occupies a compact footprint suited for shelf display or wall mounting. The cohesive blue-and-black color scheme across blade, handle, and saya makes it a visually unified collectible piece rooted in traditional Japanese sword design.
