Musashi Ichi Tanto

The Musashi Ichi Tanto pays tribute to Miyamoto Musashi, one of the greatest samurai in Japanese history (1584-1645). Recognized as Japan’s finest swordsman, Musashi developed the famous "Niten Ichiryu" fighting style, using both a short and a long sword simultaneously. He also left his mark in the world of art and traditional tsuba (sword guard) craftsmanship. The minimalistic yet elegant design of this tanto is inspired by his iconic tsuba, featuring two oval rings.

Crafted with precision and authenticity, this tanto showcases exceptional quality and materials:

• Hand-forged Shinogi-Zukuri blade with Bo-Hi (blood groove) made from 1045 carbon steel.

• Sharpened blade with a subtle hamon line for an authentic look.

• Traditional hand-wrapped black cotton tsuka in Hineri-Maki style.

• High-quality black lacquered wooden saya in Kuroro style.

• Fully disassemblable for maintenance and care.

• No plastic used – only premium, authentic materials.

• Brass habaki (blade collar) and seppa (spacers).

• Genuine ray skin beneath the traditional handle wrapping.

• All fittings (tsuba, fuchi, menuki, kashira) are made of metal.

• Comes with a fabric protective cover and an elegant collector’s box.

• Includes an official John Lee seal and certificate of authenticity.
