Manganese Steel Wakizashi with Dragon Engraving, Dark Blue Tsuka & Black Lacquer Saya

The blade on this wakizashi is forged from manganese steel and finished to a high-polish chrome surface that reflects light cleanly along its curved profile. A hand-etched dragon engraving runs along the fuller, adding a layer of craftsmanship detail that stands out whether the sword is mounted on a display stand or held in hand. The full tang construction ensures the blade extends through the entire length of the handle, providing structural integrity consistent with traditional Japanese sword construction.

The tsuka is wrapped in classic koshirae style - dark navy ito cord wound over white PU samegawa in a clean diamond pattern. The contrast between the deep blue wrap and the bright samegawa backing gives the handle a crisp, layered look. Gold-tone menuki accents are set beneath the ito at each wrap section, visible through the diagonal openings as small bright points against the navy ground.

The tsuba is a standout component: a round alloy fitting in a two-tone gold-and-silver finish with an ornate scroll design cut through the metal in open metalwork style. The scrollwork pattern fills the face of the tsuba with intricate curling detail, and the combination of gold and silver tones gives it a rich, layered appearance that complements both the chrome blade and the dark blue handle components.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a deep gloss black lacquer that sits clean and even across the full length of the scabbard. A dark blue sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata with a simple loop tie, and a gold-tone accent at the kojiri end ties the metalwork back to the tsuba color story. The overall navy, black, and gold palette is consistent and intentional throughout the mounting. Explore the full Handmade Wakizashi collection for related styles in this finish family.
