Manganese Steel Shirasaya Wakizashi with Camo Hardwood Saya - Full Tang, No Tsuba

The blade on this shirasaya wakizashi is forged from manganese steel and finished with a chrome-polished surface that reflects light cleanly along the curved nagasa. The handcrafted edge runs the full length to a precise tip, with a bo-hi groove cut along the flat to reduce weight and add visual definition. No hamon is present - the steel presents a consistent mirror-like finish from base to kissaki.

The handle follows the shirasaya form without a tsuba, creating a seamless transition from saya to grip. The tsuka is built on a hardwood core and wrapped in a camo-patterned cord in light green, forest green, and dark brown - a modern graphic pattern applied over the traditional cylindrical shape. The silver-tone habaki sits flush at the collar, providing the only metal accent on the handle end.

This piece belongs to the Shirasaya Wakizashi form - a style defined by its clean, guardless silhouette and straight-line aesthetic. The absence of tsuba keeps the visual profile unbroken and gives the sword a distinctly modern character despite its traditional construction.

The saya is hardwood with a PU leather outer layer printed in the same camo pattern as the tsuka wrap - green, light green, and brown patches across the full length of the scabbard. The fit between blade and saya is snug, with the habaki locking securely into the mouth of the scabbard.

At 31 inches overall and 2 lbs, this Wakizashi Sword is sized as a traditional short sword. It ships in a 33 x 4 x 4 inch package at 3 lbs. Note: sword stand is not included.
