Clay Tempered Wakizashi

Clay tempering on a wakizashi is the same traditional process used on full-length katanas — spine coated in clay before quenching, which creates the differential hardness that produces a genuine hamon rather than an etched line. Applying that process to a shorter blade doesn't simplify it; if anything, getting the clay application and quench right on a wakizashi takes the same level of attention. Every clay tempered wakizashi in this collection goes through that process properly. The hamon is real, visible, and consistent. Whether you're adding a clay-tempered piece to a daisho set or want the process on a shorter blade — take a look at what we have below.

Super cool sword. Feels relatively sturdy. The fittings were a little messy, I had to file off some excess material but the blade is beautiful. I would say it's a pretty sword with good display value and it makes for some fun if you did want to cut softer objects with it. Although they have a long list of don't do's that's come with the blade. All in all I think the sword is well worth the price. The team is friendly and responds quickly. The shipping was quick as well.
