- Full-tang 1095 carbon steel blade ground to a refined edge, delivering consistent geometry from spine to tip across the 20.47-inch total length.

Product Details
The blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel in a full-tang construction, running uninterrupted from tip to handle base at 20.47 inches overall. The hand-hammered surface treatment leaves a textured, dimpled finish along the flat that catches light in a way polished blades do not - each face slightly irregular, each mark a record of the forming process. The spine is clean and squared, tapering into a sharp tanto-style point with a subtle upward sweep at the tip.
The handle follows a shirasaya-style profile - solid black hardwood, no tsukamaki wrap, no ito. The silhouette is deliberately stripped back, keeping the form angular and uninterrupted from pommel to collar. This minimalist approach puts the visual weight squarely on the blade and the saya rather than the grip.
At the junction between blade and handle sits a copper-tone habaki, textured with a hammered scale-like pattern in rose-copper coloring. It anchors the blade firmly in the saya and provides the only warm-toned accent in an otherwise all-black palette - a deliberate contrast that draws the eye on draw and sheath.
The black hardwood saya is where the visual identity of this tanto lives. A dragon design is carved directly into the lacquered surface in shallow relief, the lines filled with a lighter natural tone that reads gold against the black background. The dragon coils across nearly the full length of the scabbard, with scaled body sections, clawed details, and a bearded head clearly rendered. The carving is precise and the contrast sharp. For those interested in other dragon-motif pieces, browse our Dragon Katana collection.
At 1.54 lbs and a blade width of 1.26 inches, this tanto is compact and balanced. The package ships at 2.2 lbs in a 23.6 x 3.9 x 3.5-inch box. No sword stand is included. This piece is designed for collectors who want a tanto with strong visual presence - the dragon saya and copper habaki combination makes it a genuine shelf centerpiece among Tanto replicas.
