John Lee Musashi Ichi Wakizashi
1x
Miyamoto Musashi (1584–1645) is revered in Japan as a "Kensei" (Sword Saint) and is considered one of the greatest warriors in history. This hand-forged Wakizashi is a tribute to his legacy. It serves as the perfect companion sword to the Katana from the same series, creating a traditional Daisho set, but thanks to its craftsmanship, it also stands alone as an impressive display piece.

John Lee Musashi Ichi Wakizashi – Tribute to the Sword Saint
Design Inspired by a Legend
The most distinctive feature of this sword is the iconic "double ring" Tsuba (guard). This austere yet elegant design is directly attributed to Musashi, who preferred functionality and spiritual depth over excessive ornamentation. The handle (tsuka) is made of wood, covered with genuine ray skin (Same), and tightly wrapped with black cotton ribbon in a traditional style. The ensemble is completed by a glossy black lacquered scabbard.
Blade Material and Construction
The blade is hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel. To reduce weight and shift the balance point closer to the handle, it features a groove (bo-hi), which produces a characteristic sound when swung. The edge is sharpened, and a temper line (hamon) is visible on the blade, giving it an authentic look. The sword can be fully disassembled; the handle is fixed with two pegs (mekugi).
