Single Edge Short Sword

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shoto sword blade.

The beautiful sandalwood 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. 

A superb shortsword in its entirety, highly collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable combat sword to use.
