Tanto Hōzuki (鬼灯) – Lantern of Precision and Tradition
Clean lines. Raw craftsmanship. The Tanto Hōzuki is a blade forged in tradition and stripped to its essence. Crafted from T10 high-carbon steel and featuring a beautifully visible hamon line, this tanto is built for precision and clarity—both visual and functional.
The absence of a tsuba (guard) highlights the smooth transition between blade and handle, creating a seamless silhouette perfect for display or precise kata. The solid wood tsuka and saya provide an earthy contrast to the high-polish blade, offering both durability and a refined natural finish.
Whether used as a cutting blade or displayed as a symbol of balance and simplicity, the Hōzuki is a subtle but powerful tribute to Japanese swordmaking.
