Traditional blade processing with a straight Suguha line and defined Yokote.

The RAKKU wakizashi sword replica is a masterpiece designed for connoisseurs of Japanese aesthetics. The blade is hand-forged from high-carbon T-10 steel (1.1% carbon content), which excels in toughness and its ability to maintain structural integrity. Thanks to differential hardening with clay, an authentic Suguha hamon line has been created – a straight and calm line that testifies to the smith's precision.

The blade is equipped with a bo-hi groove for optimal weight distribution and an acoustic effect when performing a traditional cut. The surface has been hand-polished with hazuya stone to achieve a mirror finish. Full Tang construction ensures the blade runs the full length of the handle, guaranteeing maximum stability for this collector's replica. The ko-kissaki type tip features a real Diamond-Shaped Yokote, which strengthens the tip and contributes to better energy distribution.

The shinogi-zukuri blade geometry with a Sori of 2.2 cm is designed for clean and fluid movement. The brass Habaki ensures precise fitting in the saya and blade stability.

• Material: High-carbon T-10 steel (material hardness approx. 58 HRC)
• Hamon type: Real Suguha (straight line)
• Craftsmanship: Hand-polished with hazuya stones, Full Tang construction
