Product Details

This daisho set pairs a full-size katana with a matching wakizashi, both forged from high manganese steel. Each blade is hand-polished to a chrome finish and sharpened to a refined edge, achieving a hardness of 62 HRC. The full tang construction runs through both swords, delivering solid weight distribution and structural reliability across the set.

The tsuka on each sword is wrapped in black cotton ito over genuine red rayskin samegawa, producing a vivid black and red diamond pattern visible between the wraps. The handle measures 10.23 inches on the katana, providing comfortable two-handed grip. Both handles are secured with traditional mekugi pins through the full tang core.

Each sword is fitted with a copper-toned alloy tsuba featuring an elaborate floral openwork design. The tsuba's organic curves contrast with the geometric precision of the blade, while brass-colored habaki and seppa frame the transition between guard and blade. These details are consistent across both the katana and Hand Forged Wakizashi, giving the set a unified aesthetic.

The black matte hardwood saya on each sword provides a clean, understated profile. Black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, and the textured surface of the saya offers subtle visual depth without gloss. The katana saya measures 30.31 inches in length, proportioned to match the 28.34-inch nagasa.

Overall, the katana measures 40.55 inches and the set weighs 2.64 lbs combined. This Black And Red Wakizashi pairing with its katana counterpart makes a complete daisho display - a matched sword set rooted in samurai tradition, suited for collectors who value coordinated craftsmanship and authentic proportions.

  • Complete daisho set includes one katana and one matching wakizashi, both forged from high manganese steel with a chrome-polished finish and hardness rated at 62 HRC for lasting edge retention.
  • Full tang construction on both swords ensures structural integrity, with each blade hand-polished and sharpened to a refined edge for an authentic presentation.
  • Black cotton ito wrapping layered over red real rayskin samegawa creates a striking contrast on the tsuka, consistent across both the katana and wakizashi handles.
  • Alloy tsuba on each sword features an intricate floral openwork design in a copper-toned finish, paired with brass-colored habaki and seppa for traditional detail.
  • Black matte hardwood saya with black sageo cord completes the classic look, with the katana measuring 40.55 inches overall and a 28.34-inch nagasa.

I bought this set as an anniversary gift to my husband and he LOVES them. Shipping took a bit longer than expected so it came a few days after our anniversary but he is so happy with how they look.

I Love this daisho, I’ve always wanted a set of swords like these, finally I have them. The next set I buy will be the ghost of Tsushima hope to have that set by mid summer. Thank you for making an affordable daisho.

Great purchase, I would only add that it was unclear if you were using USPS or someone else like UPS. This would be a problem for me since the USPS doesn't deliver to address per my request. (They would deliver to my P.O.Box) I'm crossing my Katana's and hoping my order is delivered via someone other than USPS.
Great products!

Originally thought this could be a sketchy website but the swords came in 2 weeks like they said and were real steel. They weren't as sharp as I was expecting but I still managed to cut myself lol. They have held up pretty nicely since I got them and they are fun to play with ! though the katana is a bit too long for me, they are still fun to wear and display. Definitely recommend !
