Product Details

The blade on this wakizashi is forged from T10 carbon steel and finished with a hand-polished chrome surface that catches light cleanly along its length. A continuous hamon line traces the edge from base to tip - the wavy temper pattern is a genuine visual product of the differential hardening process applied during forging. At 31 inches overall, the proportions follow traditional wakizashi form, balancing reach with a manageable weight of 3 lbs. This piece is part of our T10 Steel Wakizashi collection for collectors seeking folded high-carbon construction.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord laid over real red samegawa, creating the alternating diamond-window pattern visible in the detail shot. Gold-tone menuki accents are tucked beneath the wrap at intervals, adding subtle metallic glints against the black-and-red surface. The full-tang blade runs through the handle core, secured to provide solid structural integrity throughout the piece.

The tsuba is cast in bronze with gold-tone finishing and features a dragon motif in openwork relief - the carved dragon wraps the circumference of the round guard while the center panel carries a geometric lattice pattern. A rectangular gold-tone habaki collar sits flush between the tsuba and the blade, bridging the hardware transition cleanly. The bronze-gold hardware reads as warm contrast against the predominantly black-and-red color scheme.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in matte black lacquer, giving it a smooth, low-sheen surface with subtle texture visible in the photography. A braided sageo cord in black and red is tied around the saya in a multi-loop decorative knot with small bead details and tassel ends - the knotwork mirrors the handle's color palette and adds visual weight to the scabbard presentation. Collectors looking for more two-tone styling options can explore our Black And Red Wakizashi selection.

Packaged in a 33 x 4 x 4 inch box with a shipping weight of 4 lbs. Sword stand is not included. Intended as a collectible display piece.

  • Forged from T10 carbon steel with a visible hamon line running the full length of the blade, giving the polished chrome-finish nagasa a distinctive wavy temper pattern.
  • Full-tang construction keeps the blade securely anchored through the tsuka, wrapped in black cord over red samegawa for a firm, textured grip.
  • Bronze-gold dragon tsuba features intricate openwork casting - the raised dragon relief and lattice-pattern habaki collar add bold visual contrast against the dark handle.
  • Black lacquer hardwood saya is fitted with a braided black-and-red sageo cord tied in a classic decorative knot, completing the striking two-tone color scheme.
  • Overall length 31 inches, shipping weight 4 lbs - proportioned as a traditional wakizashi for wall display or collection presentation.
