- Blade forged from folded pattern Damascus steel with a visible hamon line - the hand-finished edge and full tang construction deliver authentic samurai-era proportions in a compact tanto profile.

Product Details
The blade is forged from folded pattern Damascus steel, producing a layered grain across the flat that catches light in shifting tones of chrome and grey. A hand-finished hamon line traces the edge from base to tip, while the full tang extends through the entire handle core - giving the piece structural integrity alongside its visual character. At 21.65 inches overall with a 1.26-inch blade width, the proportions follow the compact tanto form that defined close-quarters samurai carry.
The tsuka pairs white rayskin (samegawa) with a tight dark blue ito wrap in traditional diamond pattern. Gold-tone menuki ornaments are set beneath the binding and visible through each opening, catching the metallic theme carried through the fuchi and kashira fittings. The grip is firm and defined - correctly sized for single-hand presentation in koshirae style.
The tsuba is one of the most striking elements of this tanto. Cast in gold-tone alloy, it features an openwork crane design with the bird rendered in relief at center, surrounded by a fine lattice ground. The crane motif - long associated with longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture - gives this piece a thematic identity beyond purely decorative status. Explore our Full Tang Tanto collection for coordinating pieces in this colorway.
The saya is finished in orange rayskin-textured hardwood sealed with a natural lacquer coat that gives the surface a granular, sand-like appearance. Dark blue sageo cord wraps the kurikata and hangs in a decorative tassel knot, tying the navy handle color directly to the scabbard in a cohesive presentation. Black horn-style koiguchi and kojiri endcaps frame the orange body cleanly.
Weighing 1.98 lb and shipping in a 23 x 3 x 3 in package, this tanto is suited for shelf display, koshirae collection, or as a gift for anyone drawn to Japanese sword culture. If you are drawn to the Damascus aesthetic in this format, the Damascus Tanto collection offers related variations worth comparing.
