"Silver Dragon" Tanto – A Symbol of Power
Dragon on Black Lacquer
The main attraction of this model is its scabbard (saya). Made of wood and lacquered in a deep black finish, it features a detailed winding silver dragon. In Japanese culture, the dragon is a symbol of wisdom, strength, and protection. The handle is wrapped in black ribbon over a white ray skin imitation, creating a classic contrast. The look is completed with silver-coloured metal fittings on the guard and pommel, matching the motif on the scabbard.

Material and Maintenance
The blade is made of 420 stainless steel. This makes the dagger virtually maintenance-free – unlike carbon steel, it does not rust and only requires dusting. The blade has a shiny finish and a suggested temper line (hamon) for an authentic look. Please note that this is a decorative item not intended for practical use, sharpening, or throwing.
