Product Details
The blade of this wakizashi is hand-forged from spring steel and brought to a high-polish chrome finish, with a hamon line tracing the length of the 30.3-inch nagasa. At 1.26 inches wide and 0.27 inches at the spine, the geometry follows traditional wakizashi proportions, delivering the visual weight of a full-size Japanese short sword at a compact 2.1 lb total.
The tsuka is built around a hardwood core wrapped in real brown samegawa - genuine ray skin - before the brown cotton tsuka-ito is crossed and knotted in the classic diamond hishi-gami pattern. The result is a handle that feels purposeful in the hand, with menuki hardware visible between the wrap layers adding subtle relief to the grip.
The tsuba is a cast alloy piece finished in aged gold tone, engraved with a coiling dragon motif across its oval surface. The carving detail catches light from multiple angles, making it one of the most visually prominent features of the mounting. A matching gold-tone habaki collar seats cleanly against the tsuba face.
The black wakizashi saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a glossy black lacquer coat that mirrors the polished blade when drawn. A brown sageo cord - matching the tsuka-ito exactly - is knotted at the kurikata, completing the two-tone brown and black color scheme across the full koshirae mounting.
Overall length is 30.3 inches with a shipping weight of 3.3 lb. This piece is designed as a display and collection replica in full koshirae style. Sword stand is not included.
