Clay Tempered Japanese Tanto – 1095 Steel Dragon-Themed Samurai Short Sword
This clay tempered Japanese tanto is handcrafted from 1095 high carbon steel, making it one of the most durable and sharpest short blades available. The differential heat treatment produces a natural hamon (temper line) across the blade, a feature prized by collectors and martial artists alike.
With a dragon-themed brass tsuba and traditional katate-maki handle wrapping, this tanto blends symbolic strength and timeless craftsmanship. The blade is hand-sharpened to a razor edge and mounted in a Black Matt finished Saya with elegant fittings, making it ideal for both display and practical use.
Whether you're seeking a samurai tanto for martial arts, a functional short sword for cutting practice, or a high-carbon steel collectible blade, this piece is designed for performance and beauty.
