This tanto is signed by Nigara Kunitoshi, made in 1980 when he was 74 years old. It was formerly owned by the 45th Yokozuna Wakanohana I. The blade features a tight ko-mokume hada with ji-nie and chikei, and a bright, clear iron color. The hamon is suguha with ko-nie and a bright ha-buchi, reflecting the style of Kamakura period master Awataguchi Kuniyoshi.
