Product Details
This shikomizue brings together the covert elegance of a Japanese cane sword with a 27.55-inch straight blade forged from 1045 carbon steel. Heat-treated to 58 HRC, the chrome-polished nagasa delivers a bright, mirror-like surface contrasted by a visible hamon line running the length of the edge. The sharpened blade tapers to a defined point, and the full tang construction provides solid balance throughout the 39.37-inch frame.
The tsuka measures 9.84 inches and is carved with a raised bamboo stalk pattern that provides both visual interest and a textured grip. A brass habaki sits at the base of the blade, locking it firmly into the saya and creating a clean transition between steel and wood. The handle's all-black finish keeps the overall profile understated and cohesive.
Alloy fittings in a dark finish are set at each junction of the saya, mimicking the natural nodes of a bamboo stalk. These metal rings add structural reinforcement while contributing to the disguised walking-stick silhouette that defines the shikomizue style.
The black hardwood saya is the centerpiece of this piece's concealment design. Its matte lacquer surface is engraved with delicate bamboo leaves and stalks at each segment, and a black sageo cord wraps neatly near the mouth. When sheathed, the blade is completely hidden, and the saya reads as nothing more than a carved bamboo walking stick. Browse more designs in the Japanese Stick Sword collection.
At 2.45 lbs total, this shikomizue is lightweight enough for single-hand handling while retaining the heft expected from a steel-cored collectible. The straight chokuto geometry, all-black palette, and bamboo-themed engravings make it a distinctive addition for collectors drawn to unconventional Japanese sword forms.
