Product Details
The blade of this tanto is forged from 1095 carbon steel, a high-carbon alloy known for its consistent hardness and edge retention. Ground into a classic shinogi-zukuri profile, the blade runs full tang through the handle for solid structural integrity. The polished surface reflects cleanly, with a well-defined kissaki that tapers to a precise point - visible in the close-up detail shots.
With no tsuba or ito wrap, the handle follows a strict shirasaya format: solid natural hardwood shaped into a rounded, cylindrical grip that aligns seamlessly with the saya. A single mekugi peg secures the tang inside the handle. The pale wood grain is visible and unfilled, giving the piece an understated, raw-material honesty rarely seen in entry-level tantos.
The brass habaki sits at the blade throat, providing a snug friction fit between blade and saya. This small but critical fitting is finished in a warm gold tone that reads as the only metallic accent across an otherwise all-wood aesthetic - a deliberate contrast that anchors the piece visually.
The natural hardwood saya mirrors the handle in both wood tone and cylindrical form. The open grain texture runs along its length, and the fit between saya and habaki is tight enough to hold the blade securely without additional retention hardware. This clean, wrap-free construction is characteristic of Shirasaya Katana presentation style.
Overall length reaches 20.5 inches at a weight of 1.54 lb, with a blade width of 1.26 inches and spine thickness of 0.275 inches. Packaged in a 23.6 x 3.9 x 3.5-inch box at a shipping weight of 2.2 lb. Sword stand not included. Designed as a collectible and display piece for enthusiasts of traditional Japanese short-sword forms.
