wakizashi ODAWARA - 1.60 Shaku, carbon steel AISI 1045, polished imitation hamon, Yokote

The blade of the hand forged wakizashi is made of AISI 1045 carbon steel with bo-hi groove, hand polished in the final stage with a hazuya stone - thus achieving an almost razor-sharp edge and a mirror-like shine. The blade of the wakizashi is decorated with a polished imitation of a hamon hardening line. The full tang construction of this blade greatly increases the power of the sword. AISI 1045 carbon steel has a hardness in the HRC 48 range. Wakizashi is not entirely suitable for cutting harder materials. The steel is not partially hardened (hamon is only polished) with a low degree of hardness. Chopping hard materials would leave marks on the blade of the sword. Attractive and sharp blade, matt saya plus tsuka (handle) which is covered with genuine stingray skin, all this makes this wakizashi very interesting and desirable, it is stored in a canvas bag and paper box. This Japanese wakizashi sword can be combined into a set with the Odawara katana (K-638) Dellinger disclaims any liability for injury or damage resulting from use. Keep wakizashi out of reach of children ! Any handling of the samurai sword is your own responsibility. Remember, you are wielding a deadly weapon!
