| This is an edo style tanto. During this period (1700''s) the more somber look was preffered, instead of the more elaborate fittings of the later eras. This blade is polished to show the hamon and has a simpler cord wrap with fuchi, menuki, and kashira of blackened brass. If you would like one let me know.
