Product Details

The blade is forged from damascus pattern steel, revealing folded layer lines along the flat and a defined hamon running the length of the edge. At 31 inches overall and 3 lb, the full-tang construction gives the piece solid balance in hand. The chrome-finished nagasa catches light cleanly, letting the steel's natural layering pattern stand out without heavy polish interference. For collectors interested in folded-layer construction, the Pattern Steel Wakizashi collection covers the range of available options.

The handle assembly follows a koshirae-style configuration with a beige ground that ties the tsuka color to the saya. The antique silver lion-head kashira sits at the pommel end - sculpted with open mouth and mane detail visible from any angle - and sets the metallic tone carried through to the fittings below.

The tsuba is the most detailed component on the piece: a silver-toned oval guard with deep-relief leaf engraving surrounding a central oval bezel set with a turquoise cabochon, flanked by two red gemstone accents. The combination of carved metalwork and inset stones gives the guard a jeweler's-quality finish that reads clearly even at a distance.

The hardwood lacquer saya is beige-ground with a full-surface dragon painting in layered multicolor - gold-scaled dragons, teal serpentine forms, and red cloud accents wind across the length from koiguchi to kojiri. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata, providing a clean dark accent against the painted surface. The kojiri terminates in a matching silver dragon-form fitting that mirrors the kashira above.

This Damascus Wakizashi is suited for display as a centerpiece or as an addition to a themed koshirae collection. Overall length is 31 inches, shipping weight is 4 lb in a 33 x 4 x 4 inch package. Sword stand is not included.

  • Full-tang damascus pattern steel blade runs 31 inches overall, weighing 3 lb, with a visible hamon line and hand-finished edge geometry polished to a chrome finish.

  • Silver-toned tsuba features a sculpted lion motif with detailed leaf relief work, set with turquoise and red gemstone cabochons that anchor the overall jewel-tone color palette.
  • Lion-head kashira in antique silver matches the tsuba's tone, adding a cohesive sculptural bookend to the beige handle and completing the koshirae-style fittings.
  • Black sageo cord wraps the kurigata on the saya, providing a clean contrast accent against the colorful dragon lacquer and reinforcing the traditional koshirae presentation.
