Ebony Wood Tanto – T10 Sanbonsugi Clay Temper Mini Dagger

Product Introduction

The Ebony Wood Tanto is minimalist zen-style miniature samurai dagger, separated from carved floral, warrior and entry eight-horse short blade series. It abandons complex relief patterns, focusing on plain solid wood minimalist aesthetic, perfect for tea room quiet display, office desktop ornament and low-key oriental art gifts. The blade adopts T10 high carbon steel processed via traditional Tsuchioki clay temper craft, forming neat continuous sanbonsugi wave hamon, plain shinogi profile without blood groove, multi-stage taganeha mirror polishing and light factory sharp edge, only suitable for slow static drawing appreciation, heavy cutting operation is forbidden.

The full set of mounting hardware is plain unpatterned brass alloy, simple without redundant carving. The oval short grip uses genuine natural ray skin as inner lining, wrapped with black moro-hineri diamond cotton weave. Scabbard is solid ebony hardwood with smooth polished natural finish, retaining original dark wood grain, matched thick black cotton sage binding cord. This mini tanto uses single bamboo peg fixed full tang non-detachable structure, stable for long-term static storage. A lightweight tanto fabric storage bag is provided as free gift; simple text blade engraving upgrade service available on request.
