TOP QUALITY TRADITIONAL HAND MADE JAPANESE SAMURAI SWORD TANTO KOBUSE BLADE RAY SKIN SAYA

Top-Quality Handmade Japanese Tanto – Kobuse Steel Blade with Rayskin Saya

This traditional Japanese tanto is handcrafted using the Kobuse forging method, a historic sword-making technique that combines a hard steel edge (1095) wrapped in a softer, more flexible core. The result is a high-performance blade with superior durability, shock absorption, and cutting precision.

The hand-polished blade features a natural hamon line from clay tempering, showcasing the craftsmanship behind its creation. This samurai short sword is full tang and sharpened, making it not just beautiful but functional for martial arts practice or collection.

The handle (tsuka) is wrapped in black silk ito over genuine rayskin (samegawa), and the saya (scabbard) is elegantly covered in real rayskin, giving the tanto a distinct and luxurious aesthetic. This is a high-end tanto designed for practitioners, collectors, and anyone seeking a blade that honors samurai tradition.
