Product Details

The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and heat treated with oil quenching to produce a chrome-bright finish along the length of the nagasa. A genuine hamon line runs the full edge, showing the natural boundary created during the hardening process - each line is unique to this piece. The polished surface transitions cleanly from spine to edge, making the hamon clearly visible from multiple angles.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over white PU samegawa in a traditional diamond-pattern binding. The contrast between the black ito and the white ray-skin panels gives the handle a clean, high-contrast look consistent with koshirae-style construction. Full tang construction runs the complete length of the handle for structural integrity.

A black and gold chrysanthemum-theme tsuba sits at the habaki, its floral cutwork design rendered in two-tone black-gold metalwork. The chrysanthemum motif connects the piece to classical Japanese sword aesthetics, and the open petal pattern adds visual depth without adding bulk at the transition point.

The saya is crafted from hardwood finished in red natural lacquer with visible gold-fleck detailing throughout, giving it a textured, almost marble-like surface. A black sageo cord wraps the kurigata fitting and hangs in a braided tassel. This Red Wakizashi Sword saya finish is consistent, deeply saturated, and built to hold its color over time.

Overall length is 31 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs in a 33 x 4 x 4 inch package. This wakizashi is intended as a collectible and display piece. No sword stand is included.

A very sharp and well-made wakizashi, especially for the money. The blade has been well-sharpened and cuts paper easily. The saya is attractive, not just your usual one-color paint. The habaki is fancier than the usual plain brass saya and continues the theme of the flower like the tsuba. Customer service went out of their way to ensure that I was pleased with my purchase.
