Product information "John Lee Shirasaya Tanto"

Shirasaya refers to a special sword mount, which was formerly used for the gentle keeping of the blade. Especially in times of peace the blades were ideal protected stored in it. The unvarnished Magnolia wood absorbs the moisture inside the sheath, leads it to the outside and thus protects against rust. Many Shirasaya were provided with a "Sayagaki", an inscription, which gave information on smith, origin and classification. On the streets of Japan, the inconspicuous gear without handle and guard, especially in the late 19th Century was used because at that time the Emperor banned the carrying of Samurai swords. The Shirasaya mount, which was similar to a wooden sword or wooden stick was a clever way to wear the sword unnoticed.

An extra large Tanto which is obviously longer than other models with its length of approx. 57 cm Blade in Shinogi Zukuri style with fuller (Bo-Hi), hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel. The blade is sharp grounded with incorporated Hamon-line for a very authentic look.

Wooden scabbard.

With long tang, which is fixed with two bamboo pins (Mekugi) in the handle. The sword is thus fully demountable. Without plastic, only high-quality and authentic materials are used. Blade clamp (Habaki) and washers (Seppa) are made of brass. The traditional handle wrapping is lined with genuine ray skin. All decorations (Tsuba, Fuchi, Menuki, Kashira) are handmade from metal. A protective case made of fabric, a John Lee seal and a certificate are within the scope of supply.

Das Tanto ist gut verarbeitet, liegt gut in der Hand. Die Schärfe würde ich als sehr gut bezeichnen, der Griff ist fest montiert, lässt sich aber (glaube ich) zerlegen. Das Tanto hält sehr gut in der Scheide, könnte aber nach oftmaligem Nutzen etwas den Halt verlieren. Optisch wirkt es sehr gut, leider sieht zusammengesteckt nicht wie ein ganzes Stück Holz aus, eine kleine Lücke fällt doch auf. Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden, für den Preis bekommt man bestimmt nichts vergleichbares.
