Product Details
The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel - classified here under its manganese steel composition - and finished to 62 HRC hardness. At 28.74 inches, the black-finished nagasa carries a genuine hamon line that traces a wave pattern along the tempered edge, a visible record of the differential heat treatment applied during production. The surface retains a dark patina that highlights the hamon's contour against the polished bevel.
The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is built over a full tang core for structural integrity. Genuine black rayskin (samegawa) forms the base layer, its raised nodules locking the beige cotton ito wrap firmly in place through each diamond-shaped opening. Gold-tone alloy menuki figures are tucked beneath the wrap at the grip's widest points, adding a subtle sculptural accent without disrupting the hand position.
The gold alloy tsuba is cast in an ornate scroll pattern - continuous vine and floral motifs loop around the oval blade opening, finished in a warm gold tone that reads clearly against the black blade and beige handle wrap. The design functions as the primary visual anchor of the koshirae, bridging the dark nagasa and the light-toned tsuka.

The saya is wrapped in brown rayskin, presenting a matte, granular surface texture in deep rust and copper tones - a material choice that mirrors the samegawa used on the handle and creates a cohesive natural-material theme throughout the mounting. At 29.92 inches, the scabbard fits the blade with a secure draw. A beige sageo cord is tied in a traditional knot at the kurigata, matching the ito color and completing the two-tone beige and brown palette.
Total assembled length is 40.55 inches at a weight of 1.54 lb. This Short Tanto is sized for wall display, stand mounting, or koshirae study, with every hardware component - tsuba, menuki, and fuchi-kashira - finished in matching gold alloy for a unified presentation.
