Japanese Short Sword Wakizashi

High Manganese steel, a modern, highly-refined, spring steel, encapsulating both a relatively high carbon and manganese content, along with many other elements. It’s well known for its almost perfect balance of good blade strength, hardness, toughness, edge-holding capacity, as well as renowned elasticity and excellent resilience, with very similar characteristics to a 1060 carbon steel sword blade. High Manganese steel is without a doubt, one of the most versatile steels available, and arguably the best sword-making steel for a true combat sword. 

The beautiful hardwood material, matching scabbard & handle close seamlessly together, forming a straight, small sword stick. The hardwood handle acts as a simple, sturdy and maintenance free handle grip, which is not only effective for combat, but also presents as a whole, in a clean, traditional Wakizashi Shirasaya sword form. 

An impressive and highly collectable shortsword to own, and a formidable Wakizashi sword to use.
