## Description

desertcart.com : MURASAME Tanto Sword Clay Tempered T10 Steel Real Hamon Very Sharp Full Tang Short Katana : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Affordable Quality - Excellent quality for the money. The blade is without flaws and with a very nice distinct hamon. Very sharp! The T10 steel is a very strong and reliable steel. Handle ito wrap reasonably tight and all fittings firmly secured. The fit of the tanto in the saya (sheath) is appropriately snug. The saya itself is well made. The only criticism is the small ornaments located on either side of the kurigata are not permanently anchored in. This is not anything critical. The kurigata is the knob affair with a hole intended to traditionally hold the sageo cord used to secure the tanto on a belt if ever in serious use. Evidently the purpose of the shitodome is to help the sageo from fraying. The whole affair is a little overkill and may simply be an added cosmetic enhancement of the Edo Period when Samurai fighting and battles had come to an end. On this particular tanto the ornaments (shitodome) just float. However, I have swords where the shitodome are and are not anchored. So maybe they are suppose to float? It’s not a big deal to permanently remove the ornaments or Gorilla Glue them in. The issue is insignificant with regard to my 5 star rating. I have a dozen swords from various sellers and the Murasame can’t be beat for quality at its price range. Won’t hesitate to check them out again when buying another sword.
Review: Beautiful Black Tanto - I had been looking for a black tanto to match a black katana and a black wakizashi. This fits the bill nicely. The build is well done with quality materials. It is sharp right out of the bag. This is one you might consider a two tier display stand to show the sword and the saya together. The saya is textured, so it does not show fingerprints. For the price point, I am very happy with this tanto. Murasame takes pride in their swords and it shows in the final product.

A: Hello, saya also has black spots and black light options. The hilt cord can be replaced in black, blue, red, brown, and green...You can contact me for free replacement after submitting the order.

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: It is made ...as nearly all Katana under 3,000 in China...it is handmade and is good quality..however, it is made by apprentice forgers ...not master forgers..there again into the 3000 plus price range..Buying a Japanese made Katana...if that is what your looking for... online is near impossible and especially one made by a master forger..you would have to go to Japan..and then only be allowed to buy up to a class 3 of 5..so..my advice is to buy and enjoy the Murasame..yet be aware..I tried to buy their Tanto and it was held up in customs in Shanghai City..I only have the refund now..much rather had my Tanto. I have also purchased from Handmade Swords and they nice quality too...those are the 2 best names to buy off Amazon I think.

**Q: How would i order a b09vpnpp23 with the # 15 tsuba setup?**
A: Hello, please contact the seller via Amazon email. thank you. He will tell you if you order.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well made!
*by T***R on August 26, 2025*

Very well made! Love the blade profile. Came sharp but with a little stropping is now hair popping sharp. All fittings are tight and precise. The faux leather ito is wrapped reasonably tight with a nice samegawa panel. Cheap sageo I replaced with a more premium style. Can’t beat it at this price point.
