Black Wakizashi Sword

1060 high carbon steel encapsulates both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the extremely desirable blade elasticity & resilience. This produces a hard, reliable and sharp cutting edge and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat. 

The lacquered hardwood scabbard and quality sword fittings, complement the overall black sword color scheme nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with synthetic leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional sword aesthetic and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This Shoto sword is a simple, clean and unassuming work of combative art. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
