Product Details

The blade is forged from damascus steel, with the folded-layer pattern running clearly along its length and a chrome-polished surface that catches light at every angle. Heat treatment and oil quenching produce a genuine hamon line at the edge - a visual signature that sets this wakizashi apart from standard production pieces. At 30.3 inches overall and 1.26 inches at the widest point, the proportions follow traditional wakizashi form.

The tsuka is built on a full tang core, ensuring the blade and handle form a single continuous unit. White ray-skin (samegawa) wraps the wooden core beneath the brown cord, which is wound in a close diagonal pattern that leaves the samegawa diamonds visible at each crossing point. The grip weighs in at a balanced 2.3 lb total, comfortable for extended display handling.

The tsuba is one of the most detailed elements of this koshirae. Cast with an ornate scroll and floral theme, the black iron base is overlaid with gold-gilded raised relief work - curved botanical forms and cloud scrollwork fill the plate on both faces. A copper habaki seats the blade precisely at the throat, visible just below the tsuba's gold-edged collar.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a deep black lacquer coat. A brown-gold multi-strand braided sageo is attached at the kurikata, with the intertwined brown, yellow, and white cords forming a chevron braid pattern that complements the tsuka wrap. The kojiri cap at the saya tip is finished in matching black.

At 2.3 lb and 30.3 inches, this wakizashi is sized and finished for wall display, koshirae study, or pairing with a matching katana set. Shipping weight is 3.3 lb in a 33.4 x 3.9 x 3.14 in package. Note: display stand is not included.
