The Golden Leaf Tanto is a sophisticated and well-crafted short sword where traditional craftsmanship meets thoughtful aesthetics. The blade is forged from industrial folded steel and exhibits a vibrant, organic pattern that stands out clearly in the high finish.
The blade is oil quenched to achieve a uniform and stable hardening throughout the blade. This provides a balanced combination of strength and durability, while the visual layer structure clearly appears in the polish.
The engraved copper fittings with subtle gold and silver details give the sword an exclusive and timeless expression. The black lacquered saya has a kurigata made of horn, decorated with hand-painted gold leaves, enhances the overall look and makes the Golden Leaf Tanto a distinctive collector's item.
