Practical Plus Tanto (実加短刀)
The Practical Plus Tanto provides a very economical cutting
tanto, but uses more traditional fittings and construction methods. The blade is
hand-forged high-carbon steel and differentially tempered using a traditional
claying method (HRC 60 edge, HRC 40 spine) with a medium (chu) kissaki. The
temper line (hamon) is evident and prominent. The Practical Plus Tanto uses a
flat black saya and a black Japanese cotton sageo. The tsuka has genuine ray
skin (same) and the tsuka-ito is black synthetic leather for better gripping
qualities. The antiqued fittings on this set are decorated in a Japanese dogwood
motif with a beautiful antiqued black sunburst tsuba. A great econimcal tanto
with fantastic quality.
