Product Details
The blade on this tanto is forged from T10 carbon steel, heat treated and oil quenched to produce a durable, hard edge with a visible natural hamon line running along the length. The hamon is a genuine result of the differential heat treatment process - not etched or added after the fact - and shows the characteristic transition between the harder edge and softer spine. The full tang construction ensures the blade and handle form a single, uninterrupted steel unit. Browse the full range of T10 Tanto options to compare blade profiles and fittings.
The handle is wrapped in a traditional tsukamaki style using orange-brown cotton cord over a white rayskin (samegawa) base. The diamond-pattern wrap is accented with black menuki beneath the cord at regular intervals, visible in the product close-up. The overall grip is firm and secure, with an ivory-tone fuchi collar separating the handle from the guard.
The tsuba is cast alloy in an antique silver tone, featuring detailed botanical or floral relief carving across its face. Paired with the cream-colored habaki, the fitting transitions cleanly between blade and handle without visual gaps. The guard's engraved surface adds texture and period character to the overall assembly.
The saya is finished in a deep red lacquer base with a gold vine and tendril pattern applied across the full length, giving it a textured, hand-decorated appearance. The sageo cord is orange-brown cotton to match the handle wrap, and the kurikata is fitted with a small red bead and gold accent - all visible in the mid-panel detail shot. For a related style without a tsuba, see the T10 Carbon Steel Aikuchi collection.
Overall length is 21 inches, weight is 2 lbs, and the piece ships in a 23 x 3 x 3 in. package at 3 lbs shipping weight. Sword stand or holder is not included.
