The Ryokurin no Tanto, meaning “Tanto of the Emerald Grove”, embodies tranquility, strength, and renewal. Its deep green handle and gold fittings evoke the serenity of ancient forests, while the crimson-engraved scabbard recalls the quiet fire that dwells within nature’s calm.
Forged from high-carbon T10 steel and polished to reveal a clear hamon, this tanto stands as a symbol of resilience and discipline. The elegant color harmony between the green tsuka and the carved red-black saya makes it both a functional blade and a work of art.
