This Dragon-Themed Tanto is a recently completed customer build featuring a folded steel clay-tempered blade and coordinated blue, black and silver-toned koshirae.
The blade is hand-forged from folded steel and clay tempered, producing a visible layered grain pattern together with a genuine hamon.
The mounting features blue tsuka-ito and matching sageo, paired with white samegawa and a black sparkling lacquer saya. Cupronickel dragon-themed tsuba, fuchi-kashira and menuki complete the design, together with matching cupronickel seppa and habaki.
