We present to you a masterpiece of craftsmanship, a handmade tanto sword that embodies the spirit and tradition of the samurai. This full-tang sword is not just a weapon, but a symbol of honor and dedication. With a high-performance blade made of T10 carbon steel, a matte finish, and a handle adorned with real white samegawa and blue cord wrap, this tanto is a testament to the skills of the craftsman and the heritage of the samurai warrior.
Key Features:
T10 Carbon Steel Full Tang Blade with Real Hamon:
The blade of this exceptional tanto is made from high-performance T10 carbon steel, known for its superior toughness and edge retention properties. This steel is created with a higher carbon content, resulting in a blade that is extremely hard and able to maintain a sharp edge even after prolonged use. The blade has a matte finish, which not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also helps to prevent glare and reflection. Additionally, the blade is clay tempered, a process that involves coating the blade with a special clay mixture before heating and quenching. This results in a real hamon, a beautiful wavy pattern along the edge of the blade, indicative of a well-tempered blade.
Blue Cord Handle with Real White Samegawa:
The handle, or tsuka, is decorated with real white samegawa, or rayskin, and wrapped with a blue cord. The samegawa provides a firm grip and helps to absorb sweat, preventing the sword from slipping out of the hand during use. The blue cord wrap, or tsukaito, is tightly woven around the handle, providing an additional layer of grip and adding to the overall aesthetic of the sword.
Dark Red Hardwood Saya with Premium Natural Lacquer:
The saya, or scabbard, is made of hardwood and coated with a premium natural lacquer, resulting in a mix-colored finish with a main dark red hue. This not only protects the blade but also adds an element of beauty and elegance to the sword. The dark red hue of the saya contrasts beautifully with the blue cord wrap of the handle, creating a visually stunning piece.
Copper Tsuba with Wave Theme:
The tsuba, or hand guard, is made of copper and features a wave theme, a symbol of strength and fluidity in Japanese culture. The tsuba also employs gold gilding technology, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication to the sword. This intricate detail not only serves a practical purpose, protecting the hand from sliding onto the blade, but also adds to the overall beauty and aesthetic of the sword.
In summary, this handmade tanto sword is a work of art that combines tradition with modern craftsmanship. The T10 carbon steel blade with its matte finish and real hamon, the handle wrapped in white samegawa and blue cord, the mix-colored saya with premium natural lacquer and dark red hue, and the copper tsuba with wave theme and gold gilding, all come together to create a sword that is both functional and beautiful. This tanto is a testament to the dedication and skill of the craftsman, and a worthy addition to any collection.
