Wakizashi Weapon

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 contemporary, lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.

This shortsword is deadly, and is executed entirely in fine form. It’s collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable weapon to use.
