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.

I really like the blade and it was sharp out the box and i love the design and it feels very well made. My favorite part is the tsuba design.
