Crimson Inferno Tanto – Red Leather Sheath – 1065 Carbon Steel Blade – Gold Tsuba

Crimson Inferno Tanto – 1065 Carbon Steel Clay Tempered Japanese Short Sword

Hand-forged from 1065 high carbon steel using traditional Japanese differential hardening, the Crimson Inferno Tanto is a battle-ready short sword engineered for functional Tameshigiri (target cutting practice), martial arts drills, and heirloom display. Heat-treated with an authentic clay tempering process to achieve a hardened 58 HRC razor-sharp edge, this full-tang tanto combines a shock-absorbing spine with twelve-stage precision hand grinding to minimize surface friction and drag during impact. Featuring a brown leather-wrapped handle (Tsukamaki) over genuine ray skin for superior non-slip grip and sweat resistance compared to standard cotton wraps, it is housed in an artisanal crackled crimson lacquer wooden scabbard (Saya) that guards against atmospheric humidity while serving as a bold, modern centerpiece.

• Clay-Tempered 1065 Carbon Steel & 58 HRC Hardness: Forged with traditional differential clay hardening to deliver a razor-sharp edge for superior edge retention alongside a resilient, shock-absorbing spine that prevents brittle snapping during heavy cutting drills.

• Twelve-Stage Precision Hand Grinding: Hand-finished blade geometry significantly reduces surface friction during target contact for fluid thrusts and slices while sealing carbon steel micro-pores for effortless maintenance.

• Full-Tang Core & Gold Tsuba Accents: Engineered with an unbroken full-tang construction for ultimate structural integrity, balanced by ornate golden brass fittings and an iron tsuba that ensures precise weight distribution.

• Leather Tsukamaki & Moisture-Proof Crackled Saya: High-friction brown leather cord over genuine ray skin offers enhanced tactile control and sweat absorption, paired with a solid wood scabbard sealed in a red-and-black crackle lacquer finish for maximum oxidation defense.
