Handmade MURASAME Tanto Sword Short Katana

This high-specification tanto sword emphasizes practicality and craftsmanship, adhering to traditional katana design and construction. All the components can be disassembled and reassembled like an authentic samurai sword.

The blade is forged from T10 steel, offering a strong foundation for hardness. Through tempering and heat treatment, the blade's hardness is further enhanced, nearing the optimal level. While it foregoes expensive mirror polishing, the standard polishing ensures sharpness and cutting ability, delivering excellent value.

Meticulous attention is given to the sword's fittings, with high-alloy/brass components carefully assembled to elevate the overall quality. The wooden tsuka is wrapped in genuine ray skin and black leather ito, ensuring a secure grip. A mekugi (peg) is used to fix the tang, allowing for disassembly.

The hardwood saya (scabbard) is lacquered to a lustrous finish. The sageo (sword cord) is tied around the kurikata (knob), and the koiguchi (scabbard mouth) is reinforced to prevent cracking.
