T10 Carbon Steel Tanto with Real Hamon in Black Saya - Brown & Black Cord Handle, Gold Alloy Tsuba

The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and clay-tempered to produce a genuine hamon - the undulating temper line visible along the cutting edge. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, ensuring solid structural integrity throughout. At 21.65 inches overall with a 1.259-inch blade width, the tanto profile is compact yet visually commanding. Explore more options in our Black T10 Carbon Steel Tanto Swords collection.

The tsuka is built over real white samegawa (rayskin), which provides a slightly raised, pebbly texture that anchors the wrapping securely. Brown and black cord is applied in traditional tsuka-maki style, creating the characteristic diamond-shaped gaps that reveal the white samegawa beneath. The contrast between dark cord and white rayskin gives the handle a visually layered, handcrafted character.

The gold-toned alloy tsuba features engraved linear patterning across its surface, with a scalloped edge silhouette visible from the handle side. A copper-toned habaki collar sits between the tsuba and the blade, providing a clean transition and a warm metallic accent that ties the gold tsuba and brown cord together.

The black hardwood saya is finished with a smooth natural lacquer coat, producing a deep matte-black surface. Dark brown sageo cord is wrapped around the saya body and tied in a traditional knot at the kurikata, with a small oval bead accent in gold tone adding a refined finishing detail.
