Copy of Yamato Hosho style tanto blade

Steel construction
Three layer (sandwich) style, but the outer steel is used to show the layer on the surface. => Sample of steel layers
c = core steel, o = outer steel



Blade length 28.9cm, thickness at the base 7mm, width 3.0cm

Steel has straight layer pattern. It is not very rough, but visible. Especially the steel layer around the kissaki looks interesting. It runs parallel along the edge.




Hamon is made of large particles. It has many ashi what come out of the steel naturally. And of course, sweeping patterns around the kissaki. Utsuri starts around the starting of hamon, but not very clear.



Polishing is the classical style (sashikomi style). It is honest work, so you can study the activities of the hamon clearly. The total taste of this blade reminds us "Hosho" style in Yamato province 13th century.
