Shirasaya Tanto






Shirasaya Tanto forjado a mano
La Shirasaya es un tipo de montura de espada japonesa, caracterizada por su sencilla funda y mango de madera. A diferencia de otros soportes de espada que son ornamentados y elaborados, el Shirasaya es minimalista y se utiliza a menudo para el almacenamiento y conservación de la hoja. Este diseño se originó en el período Edo, cuando los samuráis necesitaban una forma segura de guardar sus espadas cuando no estaban en uso. El término Shirasaya se traduce como "vaina blanca", no por el color, sino por reflejar su apariencia sencilla y sin adornos.
Artesanía Shirasaya Tanto
El Shirasaya Tanto es una obra maestra de simplicidad y funcionalidad. El mango y la funda están elaborados con madera de alta calidad , pulidos hasta obtener un acabado suave que resalta la veta y la textura naturales. Esto no sólo proporciona una apariencia visualmente atractiva, sino que también garantiza un agarre cómodo y un manejo sencillo. El diseño minimalista permite que la hoja destaque, mostrando su filo y la fina artesanía involucrada en su creación.
La hoja del Shirasaya Tanto está forjada con acero con alto contenido de carbono T10 , conocido por su resistencia y durabilidad. El filo y la resistencia de la hoja son un testimonio de las técnicas tradicionales de forja que se han perfeccionado a lo largo de siglos. Los sutiles patrones de ondas a lo largo de la hoja, conocidos como hamon, reflejan la artesanía experta y añaden atractivo visual a la hoja.

How is the Shirasaya Tanto forged
This iconic Japanese sword is traditionally forged using a meticulous and time-intensive process. The blade is typically made from a combination of iron sands and charcoal that has been smelted in a traditional furnace. The steel is then repeatedly heated, folded, and hammered to remove impurities and create a strong, durable blade with a sharp edge.
The resulting sword is not only a functional weapon, but also a work of art that embodies the rich cultural history of Japan.
Are katanas legal
It is perfectly legal to own a katana in the United States from the age of 18. Please note that each country has its own laws regarding the legality of owning a Katana. Please check your country's laws for more information.
Are katanas full tang
Yes, all our katanas are full tang, which means that the blade of the sword extends all the way through the handle and is secured with pegs or rivets. This construction provides a strong and balanced sword with good handling and durability.
Sharp blade vs dull blade
If you're still unsure whether to choose a dull or sharp katana, here's a quick summary to help you:
Dull Katana: Ideal for safe training, display, and cosplay. Offering a safe option without the risk of injury while preserving the aesthetic appeal and authenticity of the sword.
Sharp Katana: Best suited for cutting practice and those seeking to experience the full potential of a traditional Japanese sword. It’s the choice for advanced practitioners.
