This Japanese style hybrid Tanto has a blade made from layered Shiro 2 Hitachi white paper steel. The blade has been acid etched which brings out its dark core and lighter outer layers. The blade length is around 192mm, blade thickness is 5mm on the spine and the overall length of the knife is 312mm. The handle is wrapped in Tetsu, greyish/green Japanese silk Ito which has then been reinforced with resin. The Ito lays over black Samigawa/ray skin and holds in place two Kongosho Menuki. The sheath is a leather wet moulded pouch design dyed black with Kydex rivets along its outer edge and comes with a Spyderco G-clip belt attachment. This set up gives the sheath a completely ambidextrous carry sysytem.
