Product Details

The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and heat-treated to 62 HRC, producing a hard, refined edge capable of holding a clean finish across its full 28.74-inch nagasa. A genuine hamon runs along the blade's length - the visible temper line separating the hardened edge from the softer spine is a direct result of the differential heat treatment process, not a polished imitation. The chrome-toned surface is hand-finished to a consistent matte clarity that lets the hamon pattern read clearly under light. Explore more options in our T10 Wakizashi collection.

The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is constructed as a true full-tang assembly, meaning the blade steel runs through the entire handle core. Black real rayskin - samegawa - wraps the underlying wood, and dark blue ito is applied over it in a traditional diamond-gap pattern, exposing small sections of the rayskin beneath. The result is a handle that reads as dark navy blue with ivory-tone accents - matching the sageo color exactly for a unified koshirae aesthetic.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in a round silhouette and finished in a gold-black two-tone treatment. Up close, the surface reveals an ornate scroll motif with evenly distributed raised studs across the black field and gold detailing along the rim and central plate. The fitting sits flush between blade and tsuka, adding visual weight to the transition point without disrupting the sword's overall balance.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and coated in piano lacquer, producing a deep black finish with a subtle gloss - slightly richer in surface depth than a standard matte coat. A dark blue sageo is knotted at the kurikata with a traditional multi-loop tie, the same cord color used for the ito, keeping the color palette consistent from handle to scabbard. The saya length is 29.92 inches.

Overall length reaches 40.55 inches with a total weight of 4.4 lbs, proportioned in the traditional koshirae style. Whether displayed vertically on a stand or alongside other pieces in your Ninja Wakizashi collection, the dark blue, gold-black, and lacquer-black palette gives this wakizashi a refined and cohesive presence.

  • T10 carbon steel blade at 62 HRC hardness with a genuine hamon line - the wavy temper pattern runs the full 28.74-inch nagasa, delivering a visually distinct edge and structural integrity.
  • Full tang construction throughout the 10.62-inch tsuka, wrapped in dark blue ito over real black rayskin - the samegawa texture locks grip in place and adds an authentic traditional feel.
  • Gold-black alloy tsuba with an ornate scroll pattern and studded surface - the round design balances the blade visually and provides clean hand separation in display or handling.
  • Black hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer with a dark blue sageo tied in classic knot style - the deep gloss contrasts sharply against the matte-chrome blade when drawn.
  • Overall length 40.55 inches, total weight 4.4 lbs - proportioned for a traditional koshirae-style wakizashi that displays well vertically or on a horizontal sword stand.
