The Osoraku Zukuri Tanto is one of the most distinctive and historically revered Japanese short swords, recognized for its iconic oversized kissaki (O-Kissaki) — a feature that covers more than half the blade’s total length. Developed during the Muromachi period, this tanto style was favored by elite warriors for its reach, striking power, and elegant aggression.

Exclusively offered by YariNoHanzo, this piece belongs to the Superior Series — a category defined by precision craftsmanship, traditional forging, and elite quality control. Unlike mass-produced imitations, this tanto is fully hand-forged, polished, and assembled using authentic Japanese swordsmithing methods.

Forged using the Soshu Kitae technique, the blade combines three premium steels: 1045, 1060, and 1095 high carbon steel. The blade is clay tempered to produce a genuine Notare hamon (a wave-like temper line), visible along the length of the kissaki and spine. This tempering process not only enhances visual beauty but ensures edge hardness and spine flexibility — critical for a tanto used in martial or traditional practice.

Unlike decorative pieces, the Osoraku Zukuri Tanto is built with full tang construction, secured with a single Mekugi (bamboo peg) within the tsuka. Though housed in a minimalist Shirasaya (plain wooden mounting), the weapon remains fully functional, elegant, and sharp. The shirasaya mount is carved from natural hardwood and fits the blade with perfect precision — ideal for preservation, display, or kata.

Every tanto is supplied with an elegant cotton bag, handmade in Italy and part of the YariNoHanzo Handmade Line — a premium touch that matches the sword’s exceptional craftsmanship.

This tanto is not just a blade — it's a statement of heritage, made for discerning collectors, martial arts practitioners, and Japanese history enthusiasts. Its striking silhouette, extended kissaki, and historical lineage make it one of the most unique and high-performance tantos available today.
