Product Details

This wakizashi features a 20-inch T10 carbon steel blade that has been clay tempered, producing a genuine hamon line that runs along the edge in a natural wave pattern. The differential hardening process brings the cutting edge to 60 HRC while keeping the spine resilient, and the chrome-polished surface lets the hamon stand out clearly under light. Every blade in the T10 Wakizashi collection is hand forged and sharpened to a refined edge.

The 9-inch tsuka is wrapped in black ito cord using a traditional crosshatch pattern over black rayskin panels. White diamond-shaped menuki peek through the wrapping, and the kashira cap is finished in matching silver tone to frame the handle cleanly.

At the intersection of blade and handle sits a silver-toned alloy tsuba with an openwork floral design - cherry blossom branches cut in relief around the guard's circumference. A gold-tone habaki collar with a family crest (mon) motif adds a warm accent that breaks up the silver and black palette.

The hardwood saya is finished in matte black and covered with silver kanji character engravings that give the scabbard a scroll-like texture. A black-brown braided sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, and the overall presentation draws from classical Japanese calligraphy aesthetics. Browse more options in the Black Scabbard Wakizashi collection.

At 31 inches overall and 2.2 lbs, this wakizashi balances well as both a display piece and a hands-on collectible. The full tang blade runs through the entire handle, secured by mekugi pins, and every fitting - from the fuchi to the kashira - is assembled by hand to maintain tight tolerances across the build.

I am a practitioner of Iaido. This is normally done with a sword that is blunt. I did want something with a live edge. I am happy with the quality of the build. I purchased these two items and I actually had the smaller one customized to match the bigger one. I appreciate their communication and it was easy to have the discussion about what needed to be done. I was constantly updated and in contact with them. They were pleasant in their conversation, everything happened at an expedient and I am happy to say that I am pleased with my purchase.

This is the wakizashi to pair with the brown katana. Both are amazing! Beautiful hamon on a T10 blade with that gorgeous leather wrapped saya.

My wakizashi was exactly what I ordered and expected, and arrived in good condition and in a timely manner. Thank you for that. My only complaint is that a left-handed saya does not appear to be available. One added note is that I very much enjoyed the enclosed instruction and warnings sheet. I realize that those "Do Not . . ." are probably based on some person actually acting that stupid, and are therefore needed for liability purposes; but wow, some are rather unbelievable!

Thank you; I'll be ordering a tanto in the future.

The wakazoshi seems pretty well made. Blade is incredibly sharp and aesthetically it is a beautiful piece. I have 2 grips with it. 1. The Kashira is loose already. Which means if it’s used as intended the tsuka ito will become loose and unwrap. 2. I wish they offered a real ray or shark skin Ho cover. Other than that for the price it is perfect. That is the only reason I did not give 5 stars. For most this would be perfect for display.

My second order from this company. Good quality swords. Saya on one of them has a defect internally but that's one out of 6. Only reason I gave them a 4 out of 5. My first order was a 5/5 I would purchase from this company again.

I love this sword. It's the most amazing piece in my collection. Anyone I have shown it to has fallen in love with its beauty. It's incredibly high quality and I'm very highly considering buying another sword from True Katana based off of my experience.
