Frequently Asked Questions
How short are these wakizashi?
Short wakizashi blades typically measure between 30 and 40 centimeters, shorter than standard wakizashi (40-60 cm) but longer than most tanto (15-30 cm). They occupy the compact end of the companion-sword range.
Are short wakizashi a traditional size?
Wakizashi historically varied considerably in length. Shorter versions were common as everyday carry blades where a full-length companion sword was impractical. Our short wakizashi reflect this historical size variation.
Do short wakizashi fit standard stands?
Yes. Short wakizashi fit on standard horizontal stands. Their compact size also makes them ideal for desk stands, bookshelf displays, and small wall mounts.
Should I choose a short wakizashi or tanto?
Short wakizashi offer the curved blade profile and companion-sword proportions at compact scale. Tanto are traditionally shorter with their own distinctive blade geometry. Both serve different roles in a collection.

This is a gift so I did not do anything more than check color and and over all construction. Did not remove plastic wrap. Looks good. Gave 4 stars because you did not send me an e-mail saying it was shipped so it sat at the front door for days because I was gone.

Well made and very sharp. Clearly a real weapon and not a fake, brittle display toy.

Everything is good and tight but the bottom of the handle is a little loose and the blade could be a little sharper, but overall I like it a lot and you get what you pay for so get something in mind for yourself if you want something better, but it's a different sword than the katana and shorter movements or easier to move. The handle is good and tight but there is a little gap on one side of the handle that looks rushed to be finished and also the bottom butt of the handle is loose. Over all I think it's great for what it's worth
