T10 Clay Tempered Wakizashi with Teal Lacquer Saya - Dragon Copper Tsuba, Black Ito

The blade on this wakizashi is forged from T10 carbon steel and put through a clay tempering and water quenching process that produces a genuine hamon line along the edge. At 20.86 inches, the nagasa carries a chrome finish that lets the natural hamon contrast stand out clearly. Edge hardness reaches 60 HRC, giving the blade a well-defined transition between the harder edge zone and the softer spine. If you're building a Clay Tempered Wakizashi collection, this piece delivers that combination of material quality and visible forging character.

The tsuka runs 8.26 inches and is built with a full tang core for structural integrity throughout. Black cotton ito is wrapped in a traditional diamond pattern over white polyurethane leather samegawa, creating clean contrast between the dark cord and the pale underlayer visible in the gaps.

The tsuba is cast from real copper and finished in bronze tone, featuring a detailed dragon relief carved across its face. The gold-toned habaki seats neatly between the tsuba and the blade collar, anchoring the koshirae assembly at the transition point.

The saya is constructed from hardwood and coated in a piano-grade teal lacquer - the same deep blue-green visible in the product images. The high-gloss surface gives the scabbard a mirror-like quality. A black-and-white braided sageo is tied at the kurikata, its contrasting cord pattern adding textural detail against the smooth lacquer. This Dark Blue Saya Wakizashi group highlights how well this finish pairs with traditional iron and copper fittings.

Overall assembled length is 30.3 inches with a blade width of 1.26 inches. The sword weighs 2.1 lbs and ships in a fitted package measuring 33.4 x 3.9 x 3.14 inches. The koshirae-style mounting, dragon copper tsuba, and teal piano lacquer saya make this wakizashi a cohesive, well-finished piece for display or as a centerpiece in a Japanese sword collection.
