Blue Manganese Steel Wakizashi with Dragon Tsuba, Dark Blue Lacquer Saya & Hamon

The blade is forged from high manganese steel and features a distinct hamon line that traces a jagged, flame-like pattern along the edge. The surface transitions from a polished silver edge into a deep blue tone toward the spine, a visual effect achieved through the hand-finishing process. At 30.7 inches overall and 2.2 lbs, the proportions follow traditional wakizashi form. Collectors interested in this style will find a wider range in our Blue Manganese Steel Wakizashi collection.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over blue PU samegawa in a classic diamond pattern. The two-tone black-and-blue combination gives the handle a layered, textured appearance, while the underlying rayskin adds grip structure beneath the wrap. The fit between handle and guard is tight, with no noticeable play.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in gold and white tones, featuring an intricate dragon motif in raised relief. The outer ring carries a floral border, while an openwork honeycomb section on the lower half of the guard adds structural depth without adding bulk. The habaki is silver-toned, providing a clean visual transition between the tsuba and the base of the blade.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a deep blue lacquer that catches light evenly across its surface. A blue-black sageo cord is secured at the kurigata, terminating in a hand-tied knot accented with a small red resin bead - a detail visible in the close-up images that adds a deliberate pop of contrast.
