Features
Hand-Forged Crucible Wootz Steel Blade
The blade is traditionally hand-forged from crucible Wootz steel, celebrated across sword history for its micro-carbide banding and organic flowing crystalline water patterns. This metallurgy delivers a premier balance of acute hardness (~60 HRC) and structural shock resilience.
Clay Tempered with Real Hamon
Differentially clay tempered using traditional Japanese methods. The cutting edge cools rapidly to form hard martensite, while the spine cools slower to retain flexibility, forming an undulating, authentic natural Hamon temper line.
Natural Solid Black Ebony Wood Construction
Both the scabbard (Saya) and handle (Tsuka) are carved from matching billets of authentic high-density black ebony wood. The wood is hand-sanded and polished to highlight its deep, rich natural grain without synthetic lacquers, providing a warm, tactile organic grip.
Full Tang Balance & Swift 880g Handling
The tang extends through the entire 20cm handle in the classical manner. With a total sheathed weight of just 1.20kg and a net blade weight of 0.88kg, this Wakizashi offers lightning-quick point control, effortless one-handed handling, and smooth draw mechanics.
