Product Details
The nagasa on this hamidashi tanto is forged from T10 carbon steel, then clay tempered and oil quenched to achieve a hardness of 60 HRC. The differential heat treatment draws out a real hamon line that waves organically along the 12.5-inch blade, creating a striking visual boundary between the hardened edge and the softer spine. The result is a hand-finished edge backed by a resilient core that resists lateral stress.
A 6.3-inch tsuka features black cotton ito cord tightly wrapped in a traditional crosshatch pattern over white polyurethane leather samegawa. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, secured with mekugi pins for structural integrity. The dark wrapping contrasts cleanly against the white underlayer, giving the grip a layered, textured look.
The hamidashi tsuba is a small black alloy guard bearing a gold-tone family crest design on its face. A brass habaki sits below, its warm gold hue catching light and providing a visual anchor between the dark handle fittings and the polished steel above. The minimal guard profile defines the hamidashi style - just enough to separate hand from edge.
A hardwood saya coated in black piano lacquer houses the blade securely. The lacquer surface has a fine speckled texture visible up close, adding depth to the otherwise dark exterior. A dark blue sageo cord is knotted through gold-rimmed kurikata, and the koiguchi fits snugly to hold the tanto in place. This piece sits well among other Black T10 Carbon Steel Hamidashi models in a growing collection.
At 20.5 inches overall and 1.5 lbs, this tanto balances portability with presence. Whether displayed alongside a matched katana set or featured as a standalone piece in a Real Tanto collection, the combination of clay-tempered T10 steel, piano lacquer saya, and gold-accented fittings delivers a refined package for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese blade craft.
