Why choose this Wakizashi？

This exquisite hand forged Japanese Wakizashi showcases exceptional craftsmanship with a focus on traditional techniques. The blade is constructed from high carbon 1095 steel, utilizing a clay tempering process that creates a beautiful and unique random hamon. This process enhances the blade's hardness and sharpness. The Wakizashi features a double bohi (groove), which reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. With an overall length of 17.52 inches (44.50 cm), the blade measures approximately 8.66 inches (22.00 cm) long, has a width of 1.26 inches (3.20 cm), and a thickness of 0.30 inches (0.75 cm). The overall weight of the piece is 0.89 kg (1.96 lbs).

The fittings of this Wakizashi are equally impressive. The handguard (tsuba), scabbard (saya), and handle (tsuka) are all crafted from antique finished, silver plated brass, adding a touch of historical elegance. The handle measures 6.30 inches (16.00 cm), providing a comfortable and secure grip. This hand forged 1095 steel Wakizashi with its unique hamon and detailed fittings is a testament to the artistry of Japanese swordsmithing, making it a valuable addition for collectors and martial arts enthusiasts who appreciate both beauty and functionality.
