Note that several translations exist for the same name and that we cannot accept claims. (Please use the text field to add a comment if the pronunciation is unusual. If you already have a translation, please attach a picture). We do not translate expressions or initials, only names or words. Requests for expressions translations will be ignored and refunded. Please also note that initials cannot be translated into Japanese. Consequently, they will always be engraved in English. |

Shirasaya Aluminium Tanto
Material: Zinc/Aluminium reinforced alloy
Full Length: 29 cm | Blade Length: 18.2 cm | Tsuka length: 9 cm | Length with saya: 31.8 cm
Weight without saya: ~150 g | Weight with saya: ~200 g
Saya: Shirasaya (wood)The "Tanto Shirasaya 6 sun" is made of aluminum alloy reinforced (not sharp). It remains dangerous because the kissaki is very pointy and the blade is solid. This is an ideal model for realistic tanto-dori training. The "Shirasaya" mounting on Shinken (real katana) is intended for the long lasting preservation of blades without tsuka, tsuba, saya or other accessories. Since wood absorbs moisture, the Shirasaya mounting allowed to protect the blade from rust. Today this mounting is used frequently for decoration. This tanto is particularly aesthetic and can also be used for practice.
The Tanto is made in Japan with Japanese materials at the "Minosaka" Iaito forge.
Note that this tanto can be engraved with the Tanto engraving module below (tsuka or saya).
Maintenance: Clean the blade with a dry cloth. Oiling the blade is not necessary thanks to the stainless aluminium alloy, but it can nourish the wood of the saya. Never use Uchiko (polishing powder), it might damage the blade.
