Imperial O Tanto

Cold Steel uses only traditional materials for the fittings of their Japanese Imperial swords. The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel) are expertly made and finely crafted in nickel-silver.

The Habaki (blade collar) of this O Tanto is hand-made out of nickel-silver and the hilt is covered in samé (ray skin) and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with a black silk cord. A beautiful Menuki (a small ornamental sculpture inserted between the ray skin and the cord wrappings on the handle) enhances the appearance of this traditional handle.

Features a fully sharpened 1060 carbon steel blade, heat-treated to a spring temper. The blade surface is then given a careful polish by hand, with a distinctive mirror polish applied to the fuller (blood groove). Comes with a black lacquered scabbard.

• Overall: 19-3/8"
