Sharp Japanese Samurai Wakizashi Sword

The Sharpened Wakizashi Sword, Model 633, is a true masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship. Featuring a fully hand-forged, heat-tempered 1045 carbon steel blade with a long hi (blood groove), this wakizashi sword is a testament to the skill and dedication of its swordsmith.

The blade's edge has been meticulously sharpened by hand using traditional Japanese whetstones, ensuring a razor-sharp cutting edge. The hamon, or tempered line, is clearly visible, adding to the sword's aesthetic appeal and historical authenticity.

The tsuba, or hand guard, is a beautifully braided masterpiece, while the fuchigashira (hilt collar and pommel) are woven with precision. The tsuka, or handle, is crafted from wood and covered in genuine ray skin, then wrapped in black cotton ito (cord) with menuki (decorative fittings).

The full tang construction, with two wood pegs (mekugi) and the swordsmith's engraved signature, ensures the sword's durability and strength. The saya, or scabbard, is made from black piano-lacquered wood and wrapped in a black cotton sageo (cord), completing the sword's elegant and traditional appearance.

One of the remarkable features of this wakizashi is its ability to be fully disassembled and reassembled, allowing for easy maintenance and preservation.

The blade length, including the habaki (blade collar), measures 21 inches, while the handle length is 9.5 inches. The overall length of the sword, including the saya, is 32.5 inches. The weight of the sword with the saya is 1.95 pounds, and without the saya, it weighs 1.6 pounds.

This wakizashi sword is an exceptional choice for martial arts cutting practice, collection, or decoration. The package includes the assembled wakizashi with saya, a black cotton wakizashi bag, and a tube cardboard wakizashi box, ensuring a secure and convenient storage solution.

In summary, the Sharpened Wakizashi Sword, Model 633, is a masterfully crafted Japanese sword that combines traditional techniques with modern construction, making it a must-have addition to any discerning enthusiast's collection.
