The Perfect Fusion of Art and Power

Damascus Steel: Beauty in Every Layer

The soul of this handmade Japanese wakizashi is its Damascus steel blade. The steel is repeatedly folded and forged by hand, creating thousands of unique layers that form a mesmerizing grain pattern (Hada). This is a testament to the artisan's skill and ensures that no two blades are exactly alike. The flowing, organic patterns make this Damascus wakizashi an exquisite work of art.

Oil-Quenched for Unmatched Durability

Unlike traditional clay tempering, the professional oil-quenching process gives this blade a uniform hardness and unparalleled toughness. This method ensures that the blade is less prone to chipping or breaking under stress, making it an exceptionally reliable tool for serious training. When you need a blade that can endure, this oil-quenched full tang sword is the definitive choice.

Elegant Fittings & Flawless Construction

• Classic Alloy Fittings: The sword is adorned with elegant alloy fittings, including a timeless tsuba, fuchi, and kashira. The simple yet sophisticated floral motif on the fittings provides a beautiful contrast to the ruggedness of the Damascus blade, creating a perfectly balanced aesthetic.

• Authentic Handle: The handle, or tsuka, is built with a foundation of genuine stingray skin (samegawa) for a secure, textured grip. It is finished with a traditional black cotton ito wrap, providing a final layer of comfort and control.

• Hardwood Saya: This wakizashi is housed in a high-quality hardwood saya with a deep black lacquer finish, protecting the blade and completing its elegant aesthetic. For other unique customizations, explore our katana parts and accessories.
