Honshu Boshin Wakizashi, Tactical Short Sword, 1060 Steel
The Modern Companion: A Daisho for the 21st Century
In the age of the samurai, the katana and wakizashi formed a set known as the daisho (literally "big and small"), which was a symbol of their status. The wakizashi served as a sidearm, for combat in confined spaces, and for personal defence. The Honshu Boshin Wakizashi brings this concept into the present day. Its compact size and lower weight make it an incredibly fast and agile weapon, ideal for situations where a longer sword would be a hindrance. Combined with the Boshin Katana, it forms a visually and functionally perfect pair.
Uncompromising Functionality and Materials
- Blade: The sharp, 57 cm blade is crafted from tough 1060 carbon steel. Its satin finish not only looks superb but is also less prone to showing minor scratches and fingerprints.
- Handle (Tsuka): The ergonomic, non-slip TPR handle ensures maximum control and comfort. Its design provides a secure grip in any situation, with or without gloves.
- Fittings: The simple guard (tsuba) and oversized pommel are made from steel with a satin finish, perfectly matching the blade and enhancing the sword's modern aesthetic.
- Scabbard (Saya): The practical and durable scabbard features a wooden core with a black leather wrap, giving it an elegant yet tactical appearance.
A Fully Functional and Sharp Weapon
This wakizashi is a fully functional weapon, designed for practical applications including cutting tests (tameshigiri). Its robust construction and quality materials make it a dependable tool.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is not a toy. This sword is an extremely sharp and dangerous weapon. Handle it with the utmost care at all times. Keep it out of the reach of children and unauthorised persons. Use is entirely at your own risk.
Sword Care
The 1060 carbon steel blade requires regular maintenance to prevent rust. After each use, clean it carefully and apply a thin layer of conservation oil. The modern materials of the handle and scabbard are highly durable and virtually maintenance-free.
