Orchid tanto

Note: Paul Chen's Orchid Tanto knife features a blade made of folded K120C steel and impressive koshirae. The hardness line (hamon) stands out clearly, and the edge shows distinct, easily recognizable layers.

High-quality ray skin (same) was used for the tsuka, and the tsuka-ito and sageo are woven from high-quality Japanese cotton. The saya is painted dark blue, and the koiguchi and kurikata are made of buffalo horn.

Fuchi, kashira, and kojiri are made of bronze-coated iron with silver and gold details. The habaki was made of brass in one piece.

You can complete your collection with the matching orchid katana (item number sh1207) and orchid wakizashi (item number sh1208).
