Duskglow Tanto – Full Black Scabbard – Gold Tsuba – T10 Carbon Steel Blade – Full Tang

Duskglow Tanto – Real Japanese Clay Tempered T10 High Carbon Steel Short Sword

Hand-forged using traditional Japanese differential hardening metallurgy, the Duskglow Tanto is a battle-ready short sword engineered for functional Tameshigiri (target cutting), martial arts thrusting drills, and high-end collection. Forged from ultra-hard T10 high carbon steel, the razor-sharp blade undergoes precise clay tempering to reach a hardened 58 HRC edge while preserving a shock-absorbing spine to prevent snapping under impact. Constructed with a solid full-tang structure and refined through twelve-stage hand grinding and polishing, the blade features a crisp geometric Yokote tip and mirror-smooth bevels that drastically lower micro-surface friction. The hilt features a high-density black cord wrap over genuine white ray skin accented by gold-finished brass fittings and habaki, ensuring a sweat-resistant, high-friction grip. Encased in a mirror-finish high-gloss black solid wood Saya with a black Sageo, this Japanese short sword forms a sealed barrier against oxidation while delivering a sleek, minimalist aesthetic for display.

Key Technical Features

• Clay-Tempered T10 Carbon Steel & 58 HRC Edge: Differentially heat-treated with traditional clay masking to forge a rock-hard 58 HRC cutting edge paired with a flexible, shock-resistant spine, guaranteeing maximum edge retention during target slicing without brittle chipping.

• Twelve-Stage Hand Grinding & Geometric Yokote: Meticulously hand-polished to define clean bevel geometry and a sharp Yokote tip, significantly reducing surface drag for deep-penetrating thrusts, fluid slicing, and effortless oil maintenance.

• Full-Tang Core & Gold Accent Fittings: Single-piece steel tang extends fully through the hilt for structural integrity during heavy swings, locked in by polished gold-finished fittings and a solid brass habaki for balance and precision.

• High-Gloss Black Saya & Non-Slip Ray Skin Handle: Solid wood sheath coated in a mirror-finish black lacquer creates an impermeable moisture barrier against humidity, matched with genuine white ray skin and black tsuka-ito wrapping for ultimate handling control.
