Manganese Steel Wakizashi with Red Blade & Black-Red Tsuka in Chrysanthemum Koshirae

The 28.74-inch manganese steel nagasa is the visual centerpiece of this wakizashi replica. Heat-treated to HRC 62, the blade carries a deep red hue across its flat with a white hand-finished hamon line tracing the edge - a sharp contrast that gives the sword its distinctive two-tone appearance. The full tang construction runs the entire length into the handle, providing structural integrity from tip to pommel.

The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is wrapped in traditional black cord over genuine black rayskin. Red diamond-shaped silk accents appear at each cord crossing, creating a bold black-and-red pattern that echoes the blade's colorway. The full tang fits snugly through the handle core, and a gold-tone brass habaki locks the assembly cleanly at the transition point.

The alloy tsuba is finished in matte black and hand-engraved with a chrysanthemum motif - dense floral relief work that fills the circular guard on both faces. A gold-tone accent detail at the seppa-dai adds a refined contrast against the dark iron finish, tying the guard visually to the habaki below.

The hardwood saya is lacquered in a deep red with a matte surface finish and natural dark speckle patterning throughout. At 29.92 inches, it sheathes the blade fully with a firm fit. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata in a traditional style, completing the Darkred Saya Wakizashi aesthetic.

Overall length is 40.55 inches with a total assembled weight of 4.4 lb. The blade width is 1.26 inches with a spine thickness of 0.27 inches. Built in koshirae style with real rayskin, lacquered hardwood, and a hand-finished blade, this wakizashi is a well-detailed collectible for display or Japanese sword enthusiasts.
