Product Details

This wakizashi features a 20.86-inch nagasa forged from T10 carbon steel through a traditional clay tempering process with water quenching. The differential hardening produces a prominent real hamon line that runs the length of the blade, with the cutting edge reaching 60 HRC. The folded steel construction adds layered grain to the polished surface, giving each piece subtle visual character. Browse our full range of T10 Wakizashi to compare different fittings and finishes.

The tsuka extends 8.26 inches and is wrapped in black cotton ito cord over red PU samegawa. The diamond-pattern wrap reveals flashes of red beneath, creating a classic contrast. Full tang construction runs through the entire handle, pinned for structural integrity and proper balance at 2.2 lbs total weight.

At the junction of blade and handle sits an iron tsuba with a black finish and openwork flower design. The cutouts allow light through the guard, adding depth to the motif. A polished brass habaki collar sits just below the tsuba, providing a tight friction fit that holds the blade firmly within the saya.

The 22.04-inch hardwood saya is coated in piano lacquer with a striking black base scattered with fine gold flecks. The textured finish catches light at different angles, giving the scabbard a subtle shimmer. Black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, and the koiguchi fits snugly around the habaki for a satisfying draw and seat.

With an overall length of 30.31 inches, this wakizashi is built to traditional proportions suited for display, collection, or pairing with a full-length katana as part of a daisho. The combination of clay tempered T10 steel, iron flower tsuba, and gold-flecked saya makes it a well-appointed piece for collectors who appreciate both material quality and visual detail.

I received this is perfect condition. Super sharp and you can tell it’s just well built, I liked this specifically cause it’s hard to find the slanted tip on the blade and I think it looks super cool, It’s also hard to find swords that aren’t only decorative, my purpose for buying is decorative but I also want it to be solid and sharp because I don’t want to show off a knock off fake sword, I want to show off something that is legit and this is.

T-10 Katana with the rare highly valued true katana point. Just superb. Cuts paper like a sharp razor on a soft beard. Great delivery time. No shipping. These guys should be your only source for katanas! They are the best in the business! L. Phillip

I absolutely love the wakizashi I ordered. The quality is amazing and you feel like a superhero when you hold it. Really makes your friends envious when they see it. Will definitely buy more.

The quality is immediately noticed when you take it out of the box - glossy saya with quality braided sageo . The blade handle sports a stiff sami and tight enough ito. This blade is of the construction Kamasu-Kissaki (straight edged tip), but TrueKatana do not explain this. That blade style is the reason why I purchased it, which is rare to find on the internet. I named it Zyro. I enjoy taking its tempered blade under the sun, showing its very unique Noi pattern.

This is the best Wakizashi sword I bought. It’s fine blade and very sharp. Great for home display.

I actually really love the quality of the work these guys do. I've bought a katana and a wakazashi and they're both amazing. However my only gripe is that I really wanted a Naginata from them and in the Naginata section they're all Nagamakis. If you actually would make a full Naginata with the long pole and everything I totally would buy it especially since I can't find a good 1 at a reasonable price anywhere.

Great looking blade only complaint is it doesn’t lock when sheathed.
