Product Details
The 12.5-inch T10 carbon steel blade is clay tempered and hand finished to 62 HRC, producing a distinct real hamon line along the edge. The chrome-finished nagasa carries the characteristic curvature of a traditional tanto point, ground to a hand-sharpened edge with a full tang running the entire length of the handle for solid structural integrity.
The 6.3-inch tsuka is built over a hardwood core and covered in white polyurethane leather samegawa. Black cord wraps in a tight diamond pattern over the samegawa, with gold-tone menuki seated at the intersections - visible as small ornamental accents beneath the binding. The fuchi collar at the base of the handle is finished in matching gold tone.
The tsuba is cast from alloy in an open-work circular frame, with a repeating lattice cutout pattern and an engraved mon motif at center. The gold finish on the tsuba creates a deliberate contrast against the dark blade and black cord handle - a design choice that reads clearly in display and draws the eye to the guard as a focal point.
The black hardwood saya is finished in piano lacquer, producing a high-gloss surface that reflects light evenly along its 13-inch length. A braided black sageo is knotted at the kurigata in a multi-loop decorative tie. For collectors interested in the broader category, this piece pairs naturally with others in the Black T10 Carbon Steel Aikuchi line.
Total length is 21.65 inches with a blade width of 1.26 inches. Shipping weight is 3 lbs in a 23 x 3 x 3 inch package. The sword stand is not included.
