Key features of the Green Tanto
The handle is wrapped in high-quality green silk and traditional ray skin, offering a secure and comfortable grip. The intricate detailing and gold accents reflect the highest standards of Japanese craftsmanship. These elements not only enhance the visual appeal but also ensure the blade's functionality and durability.
The scabbard is equally impressive, featuring a vibrant green lacquer finish that perfectly complements the handle. The decorative scabbard is crafted from durable materials, providing excellent protection for the blade while adding a striking aesthetic element.
At the heart of the Green Tanto lies its blade, expertly forged from Damascus carbon steel. This type of steel is renowned for its exceptional hardness, durability, and unique patterns. The process of creating Damascus steel involves folding and hammering the metal multiple times, resulting in a blade that is both incredibly tough and visually striking.

How is the Green 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.
