Damascus Steel Wakizashi with Brown Hardwood Saya, Gold Dragon Tsuba & Brown Cord Handle

The blade on this wakizashi is forged from folded damascus steel, with the layered pattern steel construction visible along the flat and the hamon line tracing the edge in a flowing temper line. The chrome-polished finish brings out the contrast between the folded layers, giving the blade a distinctive visual character that separates it from single-steel pieces. At 31 inches overall, it sits squarely in the wakizashi length range. If you're building a Damascus Wakizashi collection, this piece covers both the material and the visual impact.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown cord over a genuine ray-skin foundation, with the traditional diamond-gap pattern running the full length of the handle. The wrap sits firm without bulk, and the full-tang construction means the blade and handle are a single continuous piece of steel running through the core.

The tsuba is where this koshirae mounting makes its clearest statement. Cast in a gold tone with an openwork dragon relief, the guard features a dragon motif worked into a circular frame with fine engraved detail on the surface. The fuchi and kashira collar fittings match in gold tone, carrying the dragon theme consistently from guard to pommel.

The saya is shaped from natural hardwood with a brown finish and fitted with gold-tone collars at the koiguchi mouth and kojiri tip - both engraved with dragon detail that mirrors the tsuba. The overall color palette holds to warm brown and gold throughout, from the cord wrap to the scabbard surface to the metal fittings, giving the full Dragon Short Sword mounting a cohesive, intentional look.

At 31 inches overall and 3 lbs, this wakizashi ships in a 33 x 4 x 4 inch package at 4 lbs. Sword stand not included. The combination of folded damascus steel, full-tang construction, and matched dragon koshirae fittings makes this a strong addition to any Japanese short sword display.
