A highly decorative & formidable Honsanmai Shoto sword.

This Japanese short sword is constructed with the best possible materials and to the highest possible standards. The blade is hand forge laminated into three separate sections with two types of steel into an advanced Honsanmai laminate structure.

T10 steel, the highest carbon content steel used in sword-smithing and perhaps the best steel for Wakizashi & Katana combat blade making, is used for the core of the blade. This core steel is then forge-weld laminated on both sides with medium hardness folded steel, also a renowned Japanese sword steel. The blade’s edge is then genuine clay tempered with a visible wave Hamon, producing a clean defined hard cutting edge and softer resilient spine to absorb battle stresses.

Description

Very deadly, this one handed Japanese sword is quick to strike with and is a balanced combat sword with the exact same cutting, slashing and thrusting versatility as the Katana longsword, only shorter.

Major advantages of the short sword include a lower weight & size for transport and smuggling amongst clothing for surprise attacks, they come into their own unique power within enclosed spaces such as rooms, corridors, etc and strike with much faster speed than the standard long sword. Additionally, when paired with a second Wakizashi sword or Katana, the tandem pair becomes a formidable dual weapon fighting combination, which few combatants are able to counter.

Completed with beautiful and high quality components, this Samurai Wakizashi sword presents nicely for ornamental and decorative sword purposes while simultaneously performing as a fully functional combat sword.

Honsanmai forge weld laminate steel structure – very advanced Japanese blade technology.
