The "Tanto Shirasaya 6 sun" is made of aluminum alloy reinforced (not sharp). It remains dangerous because the kissaki is very pointy and the blade is solid. This is an ideal model for realistic tanto-dori training. The "Shirasaya" mounting on Shinken (real katana) is intended for the long lasting preservation of blades without tsuka, tsuba, saya or other accessories. Since wood absorbs moisture, the Shirasaya mounting allowed to protect the blade from rust. Today this mounting is used frequently for decoration. This tanto is particularly aesthetic and can also be used for practice.

The Tanto is made in Japan with Japanese materials at the "Minosaka" Iaito forge.

Note that this tanto can be engraved with the Tanto engraving module below (tsuka or saya).

Maintenance: Clean the blade with a dry cloth. Oiling the blade is not necessary thanks to the stainless aluminium alloy, but it can nourish the wood of the saya. Never use Uchiko (polishing powder), it might damage the blade.
