FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes this Dragon Horimono Tanto distinct?
The dragon horimono carving is the main visual cue, giving the compact Tanto page a more specific identity.
How does 1095 high carbon steel fit?
It is the confirmed material point and places the page in a higher-carbon short-blade comparison group.
What does the black saya add?
The black saya keeps the presentation direct and lets the carving carry more of the page identity.
How do I maintain the blade?
Wipe dry after handling or use. Apply a light coat of choji or mineral oil along the full blade length before storing. Carbon steel will develop surface rust if left wet or unprotected β a minute of care after each session keeps the blade in condition indefinitely.
How do I know the quality is genuine?
Every sword is individually inspected and adjusted before leaving our California warehouse. We check edge geometry, fitment of all components, and the security of the mekugi pegs before packing. If anything is not right, it does not ship.
