Shikai Japanese Wakizashi made of folded steel AISI 1075 with real hamon

Product detailed description

Wakizashi SHIKAI blade made of folded carbon steel AISI1075 Choji Hamon, Yokote

.

This blade is made of 1075 folded steel. The blade has been folded 11 times to create 2048 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade. The visible wavy grain on the blade is the result of repeated folding during forging. The production of this blade goes through 14 processes, right down to hand sharpening- the surface of the blade is like a mirror. The blade was hand polished with a hazuya stone in the final stage - this achieves an almost razor sharp edge. The distinctive real Choji Hamon is created according to ancient traditional methods based on the master blacksmith's many years of experience. It is a top quality replica of a samurai sword that is suitable for sect trials and can be disassembled into its individual parts. This blade has been tried and tested to remove everything in its path ! TheSori (curvature of the blade) is specially designed to achieve the finest and cleanest cuts possible. All this combined with the choice of traditional Koshirae ensures that you get the best in terms of appearance and functionality. The AISI 1075 carbon folded steel has an impressive hardness in the HRC range- the perfect combination of this hardness is accentuated by the curvature of the Sori blade , which makes it easy to cut through tatami, straw mats, or bamboo for tameshigiri. The full tang construction of this katanagreatly increases the sword's power. The tip of the blade is shaped shinogi-zukuri and chu kissaki with a true Diamond-Shaped Yokote, which is very well defined by the hamon running full length through the Boshi. This Japanese wakizashi short sword can be combined into a set with shikai katana (K-729)

Wakizashi is a Japanese samurai short sword with the same appearance as the katana. The Wakizashi was worn in a pair of daisho, as a backup weapon. A wakizashi blade is made using the same process as a katana. Most often broken blades of long swords (katanas) were used for production. The Wakizashi was considered a guardian of honor and was almost never put away by the samurai. Even in his own home, the samurai kept his wakizashi handy in case of a sudden attack. He wore it tucked behind his kaku-obi belt, blade up, so that he could respond to a sudden enemy attack directly from the sheath. In the case of ritual suicide (sppuka) , the samurai used his wakizashi, or more often a dagger was used tanto.
