Product Details
This shirasaya wakizashi features a 15.7-inch nagasa forged from T10 carbon steel and clay tempered to achieve 60 HRC hardness. The clay tempering process creates a genuine hamon line that runs along the edge - visible in the transition between the hardened cutting edge and the softer spine. The blade carries a chrome-toned polish that highlights the hamon's natural wave pattern, tapering to a hand-finished kissaki.
The handle follows traditional shirasaya construction with no tsuba, wrapping, or menuki. Carved from a single piece of rosewood, the 7.87-inch tsuka fits directly against the blade's full tang and is secured with a mekugi pin through a square-cut hole. A brass habaki collar provides a tight seal between blade and scabbard.
Without a tsuba, the design places full visual emphasis on the rosewood grain and the blade's profile. This minimalist approach reflects the shirasaya's original purpose as a storage-style mounting, prioritizing wood-to-steel simplicity over decorative fittings.

The 20.43-inch saya is crafted from the same rosewood stock, finished to a natural gloss that reveals the wood's reddish grain. A circular mon crest featuring a floral arabesque motif is carved into the saya body. Black buffalo horn koiguchi at the mouth and matching kojiri at the tip protect the scabbard's most vulnerable points while adding contrast to the red wood.
At 28.3 inches overall and 2 lbs in weight, this Wakizashi Sword offers proportions suited for shelf display, wall mounting, or as a companion piece alongside a full-length katana in a daisho set. The rosewood, brass, and T10 steel combination delivers a collectible piece grounded in traditional Japanese sword aesthetics.
