The Kami Tanto has a hand-forged and folded ASSAB-K120C powder steel blade, differentially tempered to produce an HRC60 edge, HRC40 back and a distinctive hamon. Saya is deeply lacquered in red, with a black ring-carved section at the sageo. The ray skin used on the tsuka is of the highest quality. The sageo on the tanto is woven from best quality Japanese silk. The Fuchi, Kashira, Kojiri, Koiguchi and Kurigata are all made from blackened bronze, with decoration in relief and selective detailing of copper, silver and gold. The Habaki is of two-piece construction, the inner section being copper and the outer section gold-plated brass. The blade is engraved, at the Habaki, with a hand-engraved "Fudo" horomono, a traditional blade carving from the Edo period. The blade of the Kami Tanto is grooved on both sides, and each piece features a long Kissaki. Produced by Hanwei under direction of Paul Chen. This sword comes pre-sharpened for the martial artist and tameshigiri cutting.
