1 antique Meiji/World War II Japanese tanto sword available.  This rare tanto has over 150 Japanese characters carved into it.  This is very rare.  This fine Japanese tanto sword would make an important addition to any collection. 

The Japanese kanji on the blade form a romantic poem.  In addition to the poem, a scene of a Japanese man and woman is carved into the blade. 

It has a true hamon/temper line--it looks to be water-tempered/traditional.  The blade measures 6" (15.2 cm) from blade tip to the bottom of the notch in the habaki.  When in its saya/scabbard this tanto measures 10 1/2" overall. 

This tanto is mounted in shirasaya.

This tanto sword is in excellent condition.  There are no openings in the blade whatsoever.  There is just a very occasional tiny carbon patina spot on the blade.  The hamon/temper line and boshi are perfectly healthy.  This tanto is guaranteed against fatal flaws.
