The T10 Clay Choji Hadori Polish
Tanto made of T10 steel are very durable and strong. It is also called tool steel that can retain a sharp edge for prolonged periods. Because of this, T10 blades do not require extensive care and maintenance. They only need proper cleaning, oiling, and safekeeping.
As a clay tempered Tanto, its blade has a certain hardness and solidity to it. This is due to the non-uniform allotment of clay slurry. This gives it a more flexible and forgeable spine, resulting in a very sharp edge.
About the Choji Hamon, it is one of the oldest patterns that appear on the sword. While Hadori is a polishing process that made this Tanto to have a better and more beautiful Hamon for aesthetics.

Fittings included in this Tanto are the following. One is the Tsuba or hand guard which contributes to the performance of this Tanto. It weighs the blade properly and counter balances the blade.
The Fuchi is the handle collar, a part located between the Tsuka and Tsuba. It often works by covering the opening of the Tsuka on blades like this Tanto. The Kashira is a cap at the end of the Tsuka, while the Menuki is a decorative piece woven beneath the Ito. The main function of the Menuki is to hide the Mekugi pins holding the Tsuka in place.
Accessories and The Tsuka
