Tōtoi Damascus Tanto: design and finishes

The Tōtoi Damascus steel Tanto (尊い) also known as Precious, is a real jewel, with its Damascus steel blade adorned with an authentic hamon obtained by clay tempering. Its raw, unbraided ebony handle lends a natural, sober aesthetic, sublimated by its gilded brass menuki.
