Collector's Wakizashi Tsunami Silver, T-10 steel, Hamon Choji, 30.7 cm

Product detailed description

Wakizashi Tsunami Silver, T-10 Steel, Real Choji Hamon
1.013 Shaku Nagasa

Hand-forged, the Wakizashi Tsunami Silver represents the pinnacle of swordsmithing art. Blade made of high-carbon tool steel T-10, partially hardened and hand-polished with hazuya stone, enhancing the mirror shine and authentic Choji hardening line. Thanks to the absence of a fuller (bo-hi), the blade has increased weight and durability, which, combined with the Full Tang construction, ensures exceptional structural strength of the sword.

This functional short sword is designed for collectors and practical use. The impressive blade hardness of 58 HRC allows for effortless cutting tests on tatami or bamboo. The aesthetic appeal is complemented by a matte speckled scabbard (saya) and precisely crafted Koshirae, making this wakizashi a highly sought-after investment piece.
