Hiiro Red Tanto: design and finishes
The Hiiro Red Tanto (scarlet in English) is distinguished by its T10 steel blade and rounded zinc-copper alloy guard hollowed out in the shape of plants. The handle is surrounded by imitation white stingray skin and topped by a brown Tsuka-ITO, while a black dragon-shaped menuki completes the Tsuka. The sheath is elegantly finished with its red grain on a black background and brown Sageo.
