Product Details
This shikomizue features a T10 carbon steel blade that has been clay-tempered to achieve a hardness of 60 HRC along the cutting edge. The differential hardening process produces a visible hamon line running the length of the 28.34-inch straight blade, creating a harder edge with a more resilient spine. The chrome-polished surface highlights the transition between tempered zones, and the blade arrives hand-finished and sharpened.
The full tang handle measures 10.62 inches and is crafted from natural rosewood, left unfinished to showcase the rich, warm grain of the wood. Two wooden mekugi pins secure the tang inside the handle, and the construction omits traditional tsuka-ito wrapping entirely - staying true to the shikomizue's purpose as a concealed blade disguised within a plain wooden staff.
A small brass habaki collar sits at the base of the blade, providing a snug fit where the blade meets the saya opening. The koiguchi and kojiri fittings are made from darkened iron alloy, creating a subtle contrast against the natural rosewood tones. These minimal fittings maintain the understated appearance that defines the Japanese Stick Sword tradition.
The rosewood saya measures 29.52 inches and features a hand-engraved circular floral crest - a kamon-style motif burned directly into the wood grain. This is the only decorative element on the entire scabbard, preserving the clean, staff-like profile. The natural wood grain runs in visible vertical striations, giving each piece a unique character.
At 40.15 inches overall and 2.53 lbs, this shikomizue balances length and weight in a package that looks like an ordinary wooden walking stick. The Straight Blade Sword design suits collectors drawn to Japanese concealed-blade traditions, where function hides behind simplicity. Sword stand or holder is not included.
