Product Details
The blade on this wakizashi is ground from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished to reveal a genuine hamon line - the temper pattern that forms during differential heat treatment and runs the length of the cutting edge. The polish brings out the steel's natural contrast between the hardened edge and the softer spine, giving the blade a chrome-tone reflective surface that photographs well and holds up under close inspection. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch blade width, the proportions sit firmly in classical wakizashi territory. Explore the full range at T10 Wakizashi to compare options across this steel grade.
The tsuka is built on a full-tang foundation, meaning the steel runs uninterrupted from tip to pommel. White samegawa ray-skin wraps the core wood handle, and over that goes a tightly wound black cotton ito in the traditional diamond-gap pattern - those white ray-skin windows visible between wraps are a detail usually reserved for higher-end pieces. Gold-tone fittings at the fuchi and kashira tie the handle hardware to the tsuba's color palette.
The tsuba is the most visually arresting component of this build. Cast in a gold tone with an open-work lattice body, it features a dragon rendered in raised relief - the creature coils around the guard's surface with enough detail to see individual scales. The rectangular form with chamfered corners follows traditional Japanese guard proportions, and the gold color against the black handle creates a sharp visual contrast.
The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in deep black, but it is far from plain. The entire scabbard surface carries a textured dragon relief pattern that catches light differently at each angle - when the sword is sheathed, the dragon motif continues unbroken from kojiri to koiguchi. A black-and-brown braided sageo cord wraps the kurikata fitting with a tassel finish. For more options in this aesthetic, see the Black Scabbard Wakizashi collection.
Weight comes in at 2.88 lb with shipping weight of 4 lb. The package dimensions are 42 x 4 x 4 inches. No sword stand is included. This piece is suited for collectors drawn to the dragon theme executed across tsuba, saya, and fittings as a cohesive design system rather than as separate decorative choices.
