Description
Handmade Japanese Tanto Sword — The Soul of the Samurai in Compact Form
Step into the world of feudal Japan with this authentic 12-inch Japanese tanto sword, meticulously crafted for collectors, martial arts enthusiasts, and lovers of Japanese culture. Whether you're completing your samurai sword collection, seeking the perfect cosplay accessory, or displaying a piece of functional art, this manganese steel tanto delivers tradition, beauty, and craftsmanship in one stunning package.
⚔️ Blade Craftsmanship
The heart of this samurai short sword is its hand-forged manganese steel blade, measuring 13 inches (33cm) in length. Through rigorous forging, the blade achieves a remarkable 58 HRC hardness rating, offering excellent edge retention and structural resilience. A distinctive black oxide finish not only creates a dramatic, battle-worn aesthetic but also enhances corrosion resistance for lasting beauty.
Engineered to perform, this blade can bend 90 degrees and return to true — a testament to the superior elasticity of manganese steel. The full tang construction ensures the blade runs continuously through the handle, secured by a traditional bamboo mekugi peg for unmatched stability.
🐉 Exquisite Mountings & Dragon Saya
The tsuba (handguard) is cast from premium zinc alloy and adorned with traditional Japanese patterns, offering both protection and visual elegance. The tsuka (handle) is tightly wrapped in quality cotton ito over a simulated ray skin base, featuring ornamental menuki for an authentic grip feel.
The crowning glory is the saya (scabbard) — constructed from solid hardwood and finished with multiple layers of high-gloss black lacquer. A magnificent hand-painted dragon winds across the surface, accented with imitation mother-of-pearl inlay that catches the light from every angle. This is not merely a scabbard; it is a canvas of Japanese artistry.
