Tactical Wakizashi 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.

Completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with synthetic leather and quality cord handle, forming a practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.

This shortsword is a pleasure to own, and a formidable Wakizashi weapon to use.
