Scarlet Weave Tanto – Red Scabbard – 1065 Carbon Steel Blade – High Performance

Scarlet Weave Tanto – Real Japanese Clay Tempered 1065 High Carbon Steel Short Sword

Hand-forged using traditional Japanese differential hardening metallurgy, the Scarlet Weave Tanto is a battle-ready short sword engineered for functional Tameshigiri (cutting practice), martial arts training, and luxury collection. Forged from high-performance 1065 high carbon steel, the sharpened silver blade undergoes an ancient clay tempering process to reach a hardened 58 HRC razor-sharp edge while preserving a shock-absorbing spine. Built with a solid full-tang construction and refined by twelve-stage precision grinding, the blade delivers exceptional edge retention and fluid slicing performance with minimal surface drag. The hilt features a tight black cord wrap (Tsukamaki) over genuine white ray skin paired with an intricately carved iron tsuba and gold accents, ensuring a non-slip, high-friction grip. Protected by a sparkling crimson pearl lacquer solid wood Saya with a black Sageo, this Japanese tanto provides superior moisture resistance against oxidation while creating a bold, eye-catching centerpiece for display.

• Clay-Tempered 1065 Carbon Steel & 58 HRC Edge: Differentially hardened with traditional clay masking to create a rock-hard 58 HRC cutting edge paired with a resilient, impact-absorbing spine that prevents chipping or snapping during Tameshigiri target cutting.

• Twelve-Stage Precision Hand Grinding: Meticulously hand-ground blade profile refines bevel geometry, drastically reducing micro-surface friction upon impact for smooth, clean cuts and effortless routine oiling maintenance.

• Full-Tang Core & Carved Iron Tsuba Assembly: Structural one-piece steel tang extends fully through the tsuka to maximize rigidity, balanced by an artistically carved iron guard and gold habaki accents for precise point control.

• Sparkling Crimson Pearl Saya & Non-Slip Ray Skin Grip: Solid wood scabbard sealed in high-gloss dark red metallic lacquer forms an impermeable moisture barrier, matched with genuine white ray skin and black tsuka-ito for superior sweat absorption and handling stability.
