Pattern Steel Wakizashi with Red Blade and Natural Wenge Wood Saya - Full Tang Japanese Short Sword

This wakizashi features a folded pattern steel blade with a deep red-toned finish that reveals intricate damascus layering across the surface. The layered grain becomes especially visible near the kissaki, where swirling patterns catch the light in rich crimson and dark undertones. As part of the Pattern Steel Wakizashi collection, this piece showcases the visual depth that only multi-layered forging can achieve.

The handle is crafted from wenge wood and wrapped with brown cord in a traditional diamond crosshatch pattern. A bone-colored habaki collar sits at the blade's base, transitioning cleanly into the tsuka. The full tang blade runs through the entire handle length, secured for structural integrity and balanced weight distribution.

At the guard position, an alloy tsuba with an antique silver and gold tone displays a raised floral crest design with fine ridged detailing along its outer ring. This ornamental tsuba adds a classical accent that bridges the natural wood tones and the deep red blade.

The saya is made from solid wenge wood, showcasing the timber's naturally striated grain in warm brown tones. A carved cherry blossom family crest (mon) is inset near the koiguchi, adding a subtle decorative element without disrupting the clean silhouette. A small retaining pin (mekugi) sits flush with the saya's surface.

Measuring 30 inches in overall length and weighing 3 lbs, this Full Tang Wakizashi delivers a solid, well-proportioned feel. The combination of red-finished pattern steel, natural wenge wood fittings, and antique-toned alloy hardware creates a cohesive and distinctive display piece for any Japanese sword collection.
