Product Details
The blade on this tanto is forged from Damascus steel using a folded multilayer process that produces a distinct flowing grain across the dark red surface. A hand-engraved dragon runs along the flat of the blade, visible against the deep crimson finish. At 21 inches overall and 2 lb, the proportions are classic tanto - compact and direct. If you're drawn to the red blade aesthetic, the Red Blade Tanto collection covers more options in this finish.
The handle is built on a full-tang core, with black PU ray-skin forming the base layer under white cotton ito wrapped in the traditional diamond-lozenge pattern. The contrast between the white wrapping and the black same beneath it gives the tsuka a clean, graphic quality that reads well against the red blade.
Fitting the tsuka to the blade is a black iron tsuba with an open ornate scroll cutwork design. The habaki immediately below is gold-tone, engraved with a fleur-de-lis motif - a small detail that elevates the overall koshirae presentation and bridges the dark hardware with the warmer tones of the blade.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a blue-white marble lacquer with a floral surface pattern. The mottled blue-and-white coloring creates a natural, ink-wash quality. A gray sageo cord wraps the saya in a functional knot, and a gold-tone kurikata secures the cord at the mouth. For more pieces in this Damascus construction, see the Damascus Steel Hamidashi collection.
