Product Details

The blade on this wakizashi is forged from damascus pattern steel, revealing layered grain along the flat and a clearly defined real hamon line tracing the edge. The chrome-polished nagasa catches light across its full length, making the hamon's contour easy to read without any enhancement. Hand-finishing brings out the steel's natural contrast between the hard edge zone and the softer spine - a detail that sets it apart from stock production blades in the same category.

The tsuka is wrapped in a gold-tone cord with a crosshatch pattern, secured by a matching gold kashira cap at the pommel end. Fuchi and kashira hardware share the same warm gold tone as the guard, keeping the handle assembly visually unified. The full-tang construction runs the blade steel completely through the handle core, providing solid connection between hilt and nagasa.

The tsuba is cast in a geometric open-lattice design with a gold finish - diamond and oval cutouts arranged in a repeating pattern that references classical Japanese sword furniture. Its compact proportions suit the wakizashi format without overwhelming the overall silhouette. This piece fits neatly within the broader Damascus Wakizashi tradition of pairing patterned steel with detailed koshirae hardware.

The saya is the standout visual element of this build. Hardwood forms the core, finished in gold lacquer and covered edge-to-edge in hand-engraved vine and geometric diamond motifs. The engraving is organized in distinct panels separated by framed borders, with floral vine elements appearing between the geometric sections. Brass-tone fittings at the kojiri and koiguchi complete the saya's construction. A black sageo cord is attached, providing traditional contrast against the gold ground.

Overall length measures 31 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs in a 33 x 4 x 4 in package. Designed as a Handmade Wakizashi replica and display piece, this sword presents a fully realized koshirae set - damascus blade, engraved gold saya, and matched gold hardware - as a unified collector's assembly. Sword stand not included.
