Manganese Steel Wakizashi with Blue Blade in Dark Blue Hardwood Lacquer Saya - Gold Chrysanthemum Tsuba

The blade on this wakizashi is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep, even blue that runs from the habaki to the kissaki. A well-defined hamon traces the lower edge, shifting from the blue body to a bright polished line - the visual centerpiece of the piece. Explore more options in our Blue Blade Wakizashi collection.

The tsuka is wrapped in dark blue ito over a PU black samegawa base, tied in the traditional diamond pattern with small ornamental menuki nodes visible at the nodes. The cord is firm and even throughout, giving the handle a clean, structured silhouette.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in a gold tone and shaped with a scalloped outer edge. The face carries a chrysanthemum floral relief - petals radiating outward in layered detail - with a darkened fuchi area that creates contrast against the bright gold rim. The overall koshirae aesthetic is formal and balanced.

The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a premium natural lacquer. The surface treatment creates a striking marble-like visual: red branching lines, thin blue threads, and scattered gold flecks run across a dark ground. The dark blue sageo is braided and looped at the kurigata, completing the coordinated color scheme across handle, tsuba, and scabbard.

At 30.7 inches overall with a 1.26-inch blade width and 2.2 lbs total weight, this wakizashi fits the proportions of the traditional companion sword. The full tang construction and koshirae-style fittings make it a well-composed addition to any Japanese Wakizashi display. Sword stand not included.
