Features of the Ōkami Tanto
The Tanto Ōkami is a stunning example of craftsmanship, inspired by the strength and independence of the wolf—a symbol of resilience and freedom. Hand-forged from high-quality materials, this Tanto perfectly balances functionality with aesthetic beauty. Designed for both martial arts enthusiasts and collectors, every detail has been carefully crafted to honour traditional Japanese techniques while incorporating modern refinements.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade, forged from T10 steel, boasts a visible hamon that reflects the precision of the differential hardening process. Known for its exceptional strength and ability to maintain a sharp edge, T10 steel ensures excellent cutting performance. The distinctive hamon not only enhances the blade’s aesthetic appeal but also reinforces its flexibility and durability, making it ideal for cutting practice or display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, sculpted from a blend of copper and brass, provides robust hand protection while showcasing intricate detailing that adds elegance to the weapon. These materials are chosen for their strength and natural beauty, which only improve with age, creating a timeless and refined aesthetic.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from lacquered ebony wood, delivers both strength and sophistication. Its glossy lacquer finish highlights the natural grain of the wood, creating a seamless blend of functionality and visual allure. The kurigata (knob), made from bull horn, adds a luxurious and traditional touch that complements the sword’s refined design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka ensures a secure and comfortable grip. Renowned for its durability and anti-slip texture, the shagreen enhances handling precision. Copper and brass menuki (ornamental grips) and bamboo mekugi (pegs) strengthen the handle’s construction while adding subtle decorative elements that honour traditional Japanese design.
Dimensions
The Tanto Ōkami measures 55 cm in total length, including the saya, with a 33 cm blade that strikes the perfect balance for fluid and precise handling. The 17 cm handle provides a secure and ergonomic grip, ensuring optimal control during use. With a blade width of 3.2 cm and a thickness of 0.7 cm, the Tanto is designed for stability and durability. Weighing only 0.8 kg, including the saya, it offers a lightweight and manoeuvrable experience, making it suitable for both practice and display.
The Tanto Ōkami is much more than a weapon—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship and heritage, capturing the spirit of the wolf through its elegant and functional design. Featuring a finely honed T10 steel blade, intricate copper and brass detailing, and a luxurious ebony scabbard, this Tanto is a must-have for collectors and martial arts practitioners alike. With its harmonious balance of tradition and innovation, the Tanto Ōkami offers an unmatched tactile and visual experience.
