Decorative replica tanto Ichigo, folded steel AISI 1045

Product detailed description

Decorative tanto Ichigo replica made of folded steel

Forged tanto with a blade made of folded AISI 1045 carbon steel, hardness grade 48 HRC. This precisely crafted piece will find its use as an interior decoration, as well as for active martial arts training. Due to the lower hardness of the steel and its decorative nature, the object is not suitable for cutting harder materials. The steel is not differentially hardened (the hamon is only polished). The unique pattern of the folded steel, the burgundy glossy saya, and the handle made of polished ray skin make this model a highly sought-after collector's item. It is delivered in a protective fabric bag and a box.

This collector's item is intended for decorative purposes and for practicing traditional techniques. The Dellinger company recommends exercising caution and safe handling appropriate to the nature of this collector's piece. Keep out of reach of children. Any handling of this replica is at your own risk and should be carried out in accordance with the rules for handling historical replica tools.

The Tanto is a Japanese knife that samurai wore together with the wakizashi and katana in a set called daishō. The tanto knife was designed for precise cutting and historically served as a supplementary piece of equipment to long swords. The tanto blade of the Ichigo model honours the style of classic Japanese swords. This dagger could also be worn by common people for their defence, while swords were the privilege of the samurai caste.
