The Wakazashi is a traditional Japanese sword that has a history dating back to the 16th century. It was often worn alongside the longer katana sword as a secondary weapon, and was commonly used by samurai warriors in Japan.
Our High Carbon Wakazashi is a high-quality sword that has been carefully crafted with attention to detail. It features a black Saya and handle with intricate designs, as well as a sharp and functional blade that is perfect for tough cutting practice. Additionally, the Bo-hi groove on the blade reduces its weight and improves its balance, making it easier to wield.
This Wakazashi is made from high carbon steel, which is known for its durability and ease of maintenance. However, it is important to take care of the sword to prevent rust, and we recommend using a sword maintenance kit for this purpose. Overall, the High Carbon Wakazashi is a beautiful and functional weapon that is perfect for collectors and practitioners of traditional Japanese martial arts.
