Overview

This Don Polzien version of a Japanese Tanto is beyond fabulous. Featuring an alternative csabbard and handle, the knife has a 700 layer Damascus blade forged by Chris Peterson. Blade receiver is nickel silver and all other fittings are silver.  Beautiful scrimshaw of a Samuri by Dennis Holland. Saying on saya is by Kogetsu Sogan (1574-1643) of the Daitoku-ji school. The text is based on a humorous saying: "When the follower of Zen is in doubt, his eyebrows droop."

If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind piece for your collection or for display on its own, look no further.  Exquisite workmanship and very near mint condition; a small scuff on the handle. Blade Steel: Damascus
