Kinriko Hira Zukuri Tanto in Shirasaya Mountings

The Kinriko Hira Zukuri Tanto by Shadow Dancer is the perfect piece for minimalists and those who appreciate elegance and simplicity. In the past, many samurai saw the clean design as a symbol of discipline and humility.

Forged from 9260 high carbon steel, the strong and resilient hira zukuri blade is devoid of a yokote and shinogi (ridge line), a style often seen in tanto and ko-wakizashi in all periods. The blade also features a bohi that helps to decrease the overall weight of the dagger and improves its point of balance.

This tanto's blade is secured to the tsuka with a mekugi, fitted with copper habaki, and sheathed in an oil lacquered saya.
