Black&Red Wakizashi Oil Quenched Iron Koshirae

The Wakizashi, a Japanese sword used by the legendary samurai, served as a secondary weapon in battle or as a ceremonial seppuku (ritualistic suicide) tool. This replica Wakizashi is crafted by renowned Damascus Steel with folding methods and undergoes repeated heat treatment, quenching, and a 12-step hand polish.

The blade of this Wakizashi features bohi (grooves) producing a tachikaze (sound of a perfect swing) and receives color through special treatment. The handle showcases a traditional samurai wrap, consisting of a tight synthetic tsuka-maki over rough rayskin material, while the scabbard is made of protective hardwood. The fittings, crafted from brass, copper, and iron, are disassemblable and bear the Japanese dragon symbolizing courage and bravery.
