Product Details

This wakizashi features a 19.3-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel, heat-treated to 58 HRC hardness and hand-finished with a refined edge. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the sword, providing structural integrity from tip to pommel. A visible hamon line traces along the blade surface, creating a natural wave pattern that catches light across the polished chrome-tone steel. For collectors exploring this steel grade, our Wakizashi Sword collection showcases additional options.

The 7.87-inch handle is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white PU samegawa for texture and grip stability. Over this, a deep purple cotton ito cord is woven in a traditional diamond pattern, exposing the white same beneath each crossover point. The result is a clean geometric pattern that balances functionality with visual rhythm.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a black alloy tsuba shaped in an open chrysanthemum petal design. Each petal is cut through the guard in a radial pattern, creating a delicate silhouette against the steel. A brass habaki collar sits just below the tsuba, providing a warm gold accent that transitions smoothly between the dark guard and bright blade.

The 22.43-inch white hardwood saya is coated in piano lacquer, giving it a high-gloss, mirror-smooth finish. A purple sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, matching the tsuka wrap and creating a unified color story across the entire piece. The glossy white surface pairs cleanly with the purple textile accents for a distinctive presentation.

Overall, this wakizashi measures 30.3 inches in total length and weighs 1.9 lbs. The combination of 1045 steel construction, chrysanthemum tsuba detail, and the purple-and-white color palette makes it a standout collectible piece. Those looking for similar traditionally sized companion swords can browse our Real Wakizashi selection for more styles.

It is a very beautiful wakizashi. The steel and binding are very nice. The handle though does have a small wiggle in the base of it.

Well made, only complaint is the metal of the blade doesn't seem to go fully into handle, feels like the weight of it is far too forward, otherwise great purchase
