Product Details
This shirasaya wakizashi starts with a full-tang blade forged from folded T10 carbon steel. The folding process creates visible layered grain patterns along the surface, while clay tempering produces a natural hamon line that traces an irregular wave from habaki to kissaki. Heat treatment and oil quenching bring the steel to 58 HRC hardness, balancing edge retention with resilience throughout the 30.3-inch overall length. Among T10 Wakizashi options, this piece stands out for its minimalist mounting paired with premium steel work.
The tsuka is crafted from wenge wood, its deep brown surface displaying the species' characteristic feathered grain pattern. Two mekugi pins visible as small dots on the handle face confirm the full-tang construction beneath. At 10.25 inches, the handle provides ample grip space while maintaining the sleek, unadorned profile that defines the shirasaya style - no wrapping, no samegawa, just solid hardwood shaped to fit the hand.
Where blade meets handle, a gold-tone openwork habaki serves as both a functional collar and a design accent. The lattice pattern is cut in an organic, almost cellular arrangement, framed by clean horizontal bands above and below. This is the sole metallic ornament on the entire piece, and its warm gold finish contrasts deliberately against the dark wenge and polished steel.
The saya mirrors the handle in material and grain, continuing the wenge wood throughout the scabbard's full 28.5-inch length. The natural wood surface is left to speak for itself - no lacquer overlay, no cord wrap - with the grain's chevron-like figure creating visual movement along the entire sheath. The fit between saya mouth and habaki is snug, holding the blade securely when sheathed.
This wakizashi embodies the shirasaya philosophy of pure form meeting quality materials. Without a tsuba or decorative fittings, every detail of the steel and woodwork remains visible and unobstructed. It suits collectors drawn to the Real Wakizashi tradition who appreciate craftsmanship expressed through restraint rather than ornamentation. Total weight sits at 2.2 lbs, with proportions scaled for display or collection.
