This Tanto was created by smith Morishige in August, 1985 responding to a request made by a Mr. Yanagi Gado. The blade features a Suguha hamon with a very misty nioi-guchi. Looking at the folds in the blade is almost like looking at waves rippling in the ocean. The habaki is solid silver as well, weighing a hefty 20.6 grams. The Mei is intricately carved and covers almost all of the Nakago in writing. I’ve attached a translation below.
