Product Details

The blade on this wakizashi is forged from manganese steel and hand-finished with a visible hamon line tracing a wave pattern along the darkened black nagasa. The contrast between the matte black blade face and the bright polished edge creates a striking visual that holds up under close inspection. At 29 inches in overall length and 3 pounds, the piece has real presence without being unwieldy on a wall mount or display stand.

The tsuka is built over a white PU samegawa base - the diamond-pattern ray-skin texture gives the pink tsuka-ito something to grip against as it is laced tightly in a traditional koshirae wrap. Two menuki are seated beneath the ito at the upper and lower positions, adding subtle dimension to the handle profile. The full tang blade runs completely through the handle core, secured at the kashira.

The tsuba is one of the most detailed elements of this build. Cast from gold-toned alloy, it carries a dragon motif in relief across the full circular face - scales, claws, and cloud forms rendered with sharp definition. The coral-pink fuchi beneath the guard ties the warm tones of the tsuba into the handle wrap without clashing against the black blade. For collectors interested in Orange T10 Carbon Steel Wakizashi options, this piece occupies a similar visual space with its amber saya palette.

The saya is hardwood finished in a warm amber-orange natural lacquer, smooth and even from tip to koiguchi. A multi-color sageo cord in green, pink, black, and yellow is knotted at the kurikata with a traditional loop tie, adding a layered textile accent against the glossy saya surface. The overall koshirae color story - orange saya, pink ito, gold tsuba, and multi-color sageo - is cohesive and deliberately composed. Collectors browsing 1060 Wakizashi builds will find this manganese steel version comparable in construction approach with a more vivid finishing palette.

Packaged at 31 x 4 x 4 inches and shipping at 4 pounds, this wakizashi arrives ready for display. Sword stand is not included.

  • Manganese steel blade with a visible hamon line running the full length, hand-finished to a refined edge and fitted into a polished black habaki for a secure saya fit.
  • Full tang construction throughout - the blade extends completely through the pink-wrapped tsuka, providing structural integrity across the entire 29-inch overall length.
  • Gold alloy dragon-themed tsuba features intricate relief carving across its circular face, paired with a coral-toned fuchi that bridges the guard and handle wrap visually.
  • Hardwood saya finished in warm amber-orange lacquer with a multi-color green, pink, and black woven sageo cord tied at the kurikata for an eye-catching koshirae presentation.
  • White PU samegawa under-wrap provides texture beneath the pink tsuka-ito, which is laced in a traditional diamond pattern over the ray-skin for a secure and decorative grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is this wakizashi blade made from?
The blade is forged from manganese steel, hand-finished with a hamon line along the black-finished nagasa. The full tang runs the length of the tsuka for structural integrity across the 29-inch overall build.
How is the pink handle wrap constructed on this wakizashi?
The tsuka uses white PU samegawa as an under-wrap base, with pink tsuka-ito laced over it in a traditional diamond pattern. Two menuki are set beneath the ito, and the kashira caps the full tang at the pommel end.
What does the dragon tsuba look like on this piece?
The tsuba is circular, cast in gold-toned alloy with a dragon motif in raised relief - scales, claws, and cloud forms across the face. A coral-pink fuchi sits beneath it, visually connecting the guard to the pink tsuka-ito and orange lacquer saya.
