Kaeru Wakizashi

The blade of Hanwei's Kaeru Wakizashi is hand-forged and folded from powder steel, with a medium-length kissaki. The saya is deeply lacquered in black. High-quality same is used on the tsuka. The tsuka-ito is made of premium dark blue Japanese cotton. The tsuba is crafted in blackened iron, with detailing in gold and silver and a frog on lily pad scene decoration. The silk sageo complements the theme of the frog and is elegantly woven in dark blue and grey-green.  The black fuchi and kashira feature brass detailing, and the kojiri, koiguchi and kurikata are made of polished buffalo horn. The habaki is a one-piece brass construction. More information...
