Modern wakizashi replica – L6 Clay Tempered steel, Full Tang, rubber handle

Product detailed description

Modern replica made of L6 Clay Tempered steel

Full Tang construction, real Yokote, high durability for outdoor use

This hand-forged wakizashi sword replica represents an evolution in the design of short Japanese swords. The blade made of the highest quality L6 Hi-carbon steel has undergone a differential hardening process (Clay Tempered), thanks to which it features a real hamon line and excellent hardness of 58 HRC. The Hi Zukuri blade profile (with a fuller) and the Sori curvature are designed for maximum cutting efficiency and perfect balance.

The Full Tang construction (the blade runs through the entire length of the handle) significantly increases the sword's structural integrity. The chu kissaki tip with a real yokote is clearly defined, and the hamon smoothly transitions over the Boshi. This modern interpretation is fully functional and suitable for demanding cutting tests (tameshigiri) on materials such as tatami or bamboo.

Ergonomics is paramount for this model. The handle is equipped with a textured rubber surface, which guarantees a stable and secure grip even in rain or gloves. At the end of the handle is a hole with a paracord, which can serve as a wrist strap or an invaluable helper in the wild in outdoor or survival situations. The Saya (scabbard) is made of hardwood in a matte black finish, also wrapped in paracord for easy attachment to equipment.
