Product Details

The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and finished with a visible hamon line running along the edge - the result of controlled heat treatment and oil quenching. The chrome-polished surface catches light cleanly, and the precision-finished edge reflects the handcrafted attention given to each piece. For collectors drawn to hamon detail, this wakizashi offers genuine visual depth at the blade level.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord ito over a white PU samegawa base. The diamond pattern spacing is tight and consistent, with white ray-skin panels visible at each opening - a classic koshirae construction that feels intentional rather than decorative. The full tang extends through the entire handle, lending structural integrity to the overall build.

At the transition between blade and handle sits a gold-tone chrysanthemum tsuba - a circular guard with a scalloped silhouette and engraved scroll motifs on its surface. The antique gold finish gives it visual weight without overpowering the piece. A matching gold habaki collar seats cleanly against the guard, completing the fitting assembly.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a natural lacquer finish in deep green, scattered with copper-tone speckles across its length. The texture gives the scabbard a layered, organic appearance that stands apart from solid-color alternatives. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata with a smooth black bead detail, adding a clean finishing touch to the overall presentation. If you're exploring this style, the Green Saya Wakizashi collection offers additional options in this finish.

At 31 inches overall and 3 lbs, this wakizashi sits in a compact format well-suited for wall display or koshirae presentation. The combination of green lacquer, gold fittings, and black ito creates a cohesive color story across the piece. For those building a T10 steel collection, the T10 Steel Wakizashi collection includes comparable pieces with the same blade material.

This was a gift and the receiver was thrilled, loved the look, and quality he is already thinking about how he is going to display it. As the buyer I could not be more impressed with the price, the amazing customer service response that I was given with a address mix-up on my part, They were on it right away. The quick shipment, the item was shipped the day after I ordered it and the item arrived 3 days earlier than projected. They also provided shipping and tacking number immediately upon shipment. I would not hesitate to order again from this company. Thanks!
