Product Details
The blade on this tanto is its defining feature - high manganese steel finished in a deep blue tone that shifts toward purple near the spine, with dense gold scroll engraving covering the flat from ricasso to near the tip. The etched pattern is precise and consistent, adding visual depth without interrupting the clean geometry of the tanto profile. As part of our Blue Blade Manganese Steel Tanto lineup, this piece stands out for its layered visual contrast between the engraved gold flat and the blue edge.
The handle is built on a full-tang core, with the steel extending the full length into the grip for structural integrity across all 36 inches. Black cotton cord - 10mm diameter - is wrapped in tight, evenly spaced ridges along the entire handle, producing a firm non-slip surface that also photographs cleanly against the dark saya.
The iron tsuba is compact and classically shaped, finished in matte black that keeps the transition between blade and handle seamless. Black iron fittings at the habaki and collar reinforce the same tonal consistency throughout the assembly.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a smooth black lacquer. The fit is precise - the blade seats without play - and the koiguchi and kojiri are both finished cleanly. The all-black saya lets the gold and blue of the blade read as the single focal point when the sword is drawn.
At 36 inches overall and 4 pounds, this tanto sits confidently as a display piece or handled addition to a Black Tanto collection. Sword stand not included.
