This is a traditional Japanese Tanto. It has been clay tempered and water quenched and sharpened by the traditional 12 step methods. The balance of the blade is perfect and the sword is completely functional. The Tanto can be used for Iaido, drills, practice and cutting tests. You can see the visible hamon line (clay tempered line) on the blade surface. The saya is wooden with a black finish and it fits seamlessly into the handle. A sword box is included. 

The blade features a Bo-Hi (groove) for better balance and a audible feedback when the sword is swung. The Kissaki is medium with a well defined Yokote. The sword is full tang and comes razor sharp.

Notice: This sword has been clay tempered and sharpened through our 12 step hand sharpening.

Illustration Of Blade Construction

Clay Tempered

Please view above picture A

This blade is hand forged by the Japanese traditional method Clay Tempering. The gray range of above blade is clay covered range. The sword smith covers the whole blade with clay expect the edge part. The edge of the blade is heated to red, then it is quenched into water. As a result, the edge will become hard and sturdy and on the other hand, the part that is covered with clay keeps the flexibility. After clay tempering, the blade is left with a slight and fantastic white line, which is the hamon line.
