Its frost-like blade has yet to be tested."

The Sentinel of Silence: Deep Frost (《沉霜》)

The Deep Frost (沉霜) is a concentrated expression of Samurai tradition in a compact, heavyweight form. This Tanto (短刀) is designed for the modern collector who appreciates the density of history held in the palm of a hand.

Despite its concise 17.5-inch (44.5cm) profile, it boasts a substantial weight of 2.0 lbs (0.89kg) due to its solid Brass Scabbard, providing a sensory experience of power and permanence.

The Ultimate Gift for Him: A Desk-Side Guardian

For the man who values precision and unyielding resolve. The Deep Frost features an exquisite Antique Silver-Plated Brass scabbard that glows with a cold, moonlight luster. It is more than a collectible; it is a "Man's Romance"—a heavy, metallic guardian for an executive desk or a private sanctuary.

The Blade: T10 Steel & Clay Tempered Hamon
Forged from high-performance T10 Carbon Steel, the blade undergoes a traditional Clay Tempering (覆土燒刃) process. This creates a natural, distinct Hamon (刃紋)—a crystalline line that marks the boundary between strength and flexibility. The 0.75cm thickness ensures incredible structural density.

The Scabbard: Antique Silver-Plated Brass
Unlike traditional wooden scabbards, this masterpiece features a full Brass Scabbard with a premium Antique Silver Plating (鎏銀) finish. The result is a cold, tactile, and luxuriously heavy feel that ages beautifully over time.

The Fittings: Hand-Carved Antique Copper
The hilt and accents are crafted from Pure Copper, featuring deep, hand-carved motifs with an antique finish. Every curve and engraving is designed to complement the silver glow of the scabbard.

⚒️ A Note on Craftsmanship: The Evolution of Design

The Master Concept (Lifestyle Images):
Our lifestyle gallery showcases the Original Master Prototype. These images capture the idealized spirit and the cold, metallic glow of the silver plating as originally conceived by our master smiths.

The Living Blade (Actual Product):
Unlike mass-produced factory items, Shogun Blade operates in small, artisanal batches.

Hand-Forged Variation: Because each blade is individually clay tempered and each scabbard silver-plated by hand, the Hamon pattern (刃紋) and the Antique Patina are unique to each piece, much like a fingerprint.
Artisanal Optimization: Our masters hand-adjust specific details of the copper carvings to achieve the "Optimal Aesthetic Effect" unique to the weight and proportions of this current batch.

What This Means:
While the overall silhouette remains true to the photos, please expect organic variations resulting from this individual artistic tuning. Please refer to the Detailed Macro Shots for the exact specifications of the current batch you will receive.

Collector's Note: This item is strictly for display, collection, and decorative purposes (art piece).
