Description: A long-bladed dagger, the aikuchi is very similar in most respects to the traditional tanto. It differs mainly in its lack of a hand guard at the top of the hilt, which the tanto offers to prevent the hand from slipping forward onto the blade. Decorated with a number of tiny cream-coloured pebbles that have been crammed next to each other so closely as to leave not a single gap exposing the base material of the hilt, the handle is interrupted by a large notch at its top and has a small iron rose fused into its surface.
Appraise: The aikuchi dagger is about nine inches long and roughly a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Weight: 1 3/9 lb
Value: A$5
