Frequently Asked Questions

What types of short Japanese swords are included?
This collection includes wakizashi, tanto, kodachi, short katana, and other compact Japanese blade formats. All share genuine hand-forged construction at shorter-than-katana proportions.
How short are these swords?
Blade lengths range from approximately 15 centimeters for short tanto to 60 centimeters for the longest wakizashi. Overall lengths span from about 25 to 85 centimeters depending on the blade type.
Are short swords less detailed than full-size katanas?
No. Short swords receive identical forging and finishing attention. In fact, details like hamon lines and Damascus patterns can be more visible and engaging at compact scale because the viewer is naturally closer to the blade.
Can I build a complete collection using only short swords?
Yes. A collection spanning tanto, kodachi, wakizashi, and short katana covers a wide range of Japanese blade traditions without requiring large display spaces. Multiple short swords fit on a single multi-tier stand.
