Shikoto Hammer-Forged Longquan Master Teal Wakizashi

When you hold a Shikoto Hammer-Forged Longquan Master sword in your hand, you are holding the same weapon a warrior used more than 2,500 years ago. Using methods used by Bronze Age swordsmiths, the 19 3/4” 1060 high carbon steel blade has been hammer-forged and clay tempered to produce a visible hamon line. Differential hardening gives this magnificent sword a harder cutting edge and a softer spine, which is the hallmark of a high-quality weapon. The tsuba and handle fittings are of solid brass with an aged bronze finish and the wooden handle has teal traditional cord wrapping over genuine, tea-dyed rayskin. A black lacquered and polished wooden scabbard with cord-wrapping houses the blade. Also included with the Shikoto Longquan Master Teal Wakizashi Sword is a certificate of authenticity with forging specifications, signed by the master swordsmith who crafted the blade.

Bamboo Wakizashi

At Bugei we reach into history to design blades to be used by the student of traditional Japanese Sword Arts. The Bamboo Katana was Bugei's first production sword.

The Bamboo Wakizashi was developed as a companion sword to the katana. The sword has an 18.5" blade with a 6.5" tsuka (handle). Bamboo is a popular theme for Japanese sword mounts as it represents both strength and flexibility, qualities highly prized by the Samurai. The tsuba (sword guard) is made from a plate of soft copper that is given a hard gloss black coating and then gold highlights are applied to the intricate bamboo. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in black silk ito to complement the gloss black saya and glossy black fittings.

Citadel

Bamboo Wakizashi

Citadel's swords and knives are completely hand-made one off customs made entirely in their small shop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We've asked them to make for us a few in the same style, but made in the same way as their custom swords. Crafted individually from start to finish, each one is of course a bit unique in it's own way. Limited to just 20 swords, each is signed by the smith on the nakago with the sword number and comes with a matching certificate.The "Wakizashi" or Short Sword was worn with the longer katana, when the pair matched in theme they were considered a Daisho. However, when the katana was surrendered upon entering a home the wakizashi was not, making it truly the side-arm of the Samurai! The tsuba is hand cut and engraved from pure iron. The "nanako" or stippled pattern on the tsuba is accomplished by hand, quite a feat of patience with a stunning result. The tsuba also features "seki-gane", metal inserts at the top and bottom of the hole for the blade to slip through. These are of a softer metal (copper) than the iron of the tsuba and allow easier shaping of the hole to perfectly fit the tsuba to the blade. Over time if this fit becomes loose or the tsuba is fitted to another blade the seki-gane may be adjusted easily to tighten it back up. This is a small detail usually only found on hand-made Japanese tsuba and is indicative of the level of care and craftsmanship given to these swords by Citadel.The "tsuka" or handle and "saya" or scabbard are hand carved to fit each individual blade ensuring a proper fit. The handle is wrapped in genuine imported silk from Japan and tightly wrapped around the full same-gawa or ray skin wrap around the wooden core. The saya is lacquered in black to a nice semi-gloss finish with a ray skin wrap near the mouth of the saya to strengthen this area.These are extremely limited in numbers to be produced (20 only!). Each blade is signed on the tang with the model and number and includes a stamped certificate of authenticity.These swords are entirely hand-made by Citadel.Collect the set; a samurai wore two swords, the matching long sword, Katana, is also available to complete your collection.

Crane Wakizashi

The Crane wakizashi by Bugei is an elegant sword at a very reasonable price. The Crane tapers more towards the tip than our heavier *feeling* Samurai model. The Crane style is forged out of Swedish powdered steel with a dramatic hada, grain pattern, resulting from the forging/folding process. The tsuba, guard, is a pierced crane style and quite beautiful. The Crane symbolizes wisdom and longevity. The menuki are a younger and an older scholar/sage. The meaning is this, a man of wisdom and integrity would be long in the service of his lord, usually surviving one lord to serve the next generation, thus the analogy with the Crane, wisdom and longevity. This wakizashi will serve well those who want a faster blade for iaido and yet still want a blade that has the strength for serious cutting. The 6.5 inch tsuka is wrapped in black silk ito. The wakizashi is a shinogi zukuri blade shape with a length of 18.5 inches. As with all of Bugei's swords, each Crane wakizashi is inspected and prepped by Keith Larman to insure the quality of the sword that you receive from us. The beautiful hada (grain in the steel) is very apparent in our swords. This is the result of the extensive forging and folding process that is done by hand for each individual sword. The Crane tsuba is extraordinary in it's beauty and detail. It is a light tsuba and adds to the overall lightness of the blade.

Dragonfly Wakizashi

The classic Japanese battle sword in all its incarnations has been celebrated for centuries, not only for its elegant lines and simple beauty, but also for the technique and skill that went into its construction. Most swords offered today are interpretive copies of antiquities from feudal Japan. They were made for warrior´s of small stature who seldom rose above five and a half feet. As skillfully designed as these swords are, they may not be perfectly suited for the twenty first century warrior, who benefited from contemporary advances in childhood nutrition and healthcare and grew up to be a substantially taller, stronger, and more athletic version of his historical counterpart. As a way of compensating for this size disparity, Cold Steel has created the Dragonfly Series. These swords feature thicker, wider and heavier blades, which mirror our Imperial Series in respect to heat treatment, polish, quality of furnishings, and attention to detail, but with a few new departures. Most noticeable are the distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black samé (ray skin) used on the handles and the black iron furniture that bears the dragonfly motif. Also, the polished blades are more strongly curved than our Imperial blades and terminate in a long "iris leaf" point for maximum cutting and slashing potential. Additionally, these swords come with two protective bags. There is a blue travel bag and an intricately decorative display bag that´s made from the finest heavy silk metallic brocade. Specifications Wakizashi: Blade: 55.88 cm Overall: 80.01 cm Thick: 0.31 cm Weight: 767.2 g Steel: 1055 Scabbard: Black Lacquered Wood

Wakizashi, Long Handle

A few years ago, Cold Steel® launched a new line of high-quality Japanese swords under the name Emperor series. The customer response was extremely positive, but the thought arose that there are also lovers of Asian naked weapons who want to buy a combat-ready sword at a cheaper price.The introduction of the Warrior series was the logical answer to this demand. Like the Emperor swords, the models in the Warrior collection are made of 1060 high-performance steel. The hardening and sharpness of the blades are also identical. In order to reduce the production costs, the elaborate high-gloss polishing was dispensed with and a more appropriate finish was chosen. The Warrior collection is the perfect choice to train and perform cut tests (Tameshigiri) without damaging the blade. Details: Thickness 5/16" Blade Length 21” Handle 11 1/4" Long Steel / Material 1060 Carbon Overall 32 1/4" Additional Feature Samé (Ray Skin) Handle with Black Braid Cord and Brass Menuki.

Peace Wakizashi

The new Peace Wakizashi was designed by Keith Larman of Summerchild Polishing as both a companion piece to the very popular Peace Katana, but also as a stand-alone sword on its own merits.Keith requested that the wakizashi be of the hira zukuri form. Hira zukuri blades are flatter without the ridgeline and defined kissaki (tip) of a more common shinogi zukuri design. Shinogi zukuri is the overwhelming choice in longer blade forms such as katana because it offers a balance between strength and resistance to bends along with proper sharpness. Hira zukuri blades being taller from back to the edge has a sharper edge angle and are, as a result, aggressive cutting blades. Users will often comment that they are as close to a "lightsaber" that you're going to get in the modern world. However, in longer lengths with their thinner cross section they can be more prone to taking a set (a permanent bend) due to the forces involved in actual cutting. As a result, hira zukuri blades are very rare in longer lengths but more commonly seen in tanto and sometimes in wakizashi. Keith has long told us he wanted to do a hira zukuri wakizashi but only as long as it as done in a quality steel with a quality heat treatment. The Peace Wakizashi is that sword.Bugei asked the forge to fold the steel an extra time to get the finer grain that is distinctive of the Peace Katana. Bugei has them do a subtle suguha (flat) hamon on that steel giving them a very subtle but incredibly interesting interaction with the steel when looked at closely. The elegant suguha also follows the profile of the blade itself, lending itself to an understated elegance that is so distinctive of Japanese historical swordcraft. Keith's designed included specifying the larger size of the blade even though it is wakizashi length. The overall nagasa is 20 inches from the machi to the very tip with subtle sori. This length reflects the larger feel of the mounts for today's larger hands.The koshirae (mounts) reflect the Peace Katana but, as is traditional with daisho, there is some intentional variation. Matched sets (daisho) shouldn't necessarily be "photocopies" of each other. The Peace Wakizashi features a hamidashi tsuba (essentially a "low profile" tsuba) design. These were common on shorter swords such as tanto and wakizashi. The fuchi kashira and menuki match the Peace katana and of course, the saya (scabbard) is decorated similarly with blades of golden grass reflecting the original haiku which was the inspiration for the Peace Katana. The tsuka is built for one-handed use as is traditional with blacked samekawa (rayskin) wrapped in real silk tsukaito. Details: 20 inch blade 6 inch tsukaThe tsuka is wrapped in brown silk ito and brown same. Each blade is individually hand forged from Swedish Powdered Steel.

Citadel

Lotus Wakizashi

Citadel's swords and knives are completely hand-made one off customs made entirely in their small shop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We've asked them to make for us a few in the same style, but made in the same way as their custom swords. Crafted individually from start to finish, each one is of course a bit unique in it's own way. Limited to just 20 swords, each is signed by the smith on the nakago with the sword number and comes with a matching certificate.The "Wakizashi" or Short Sword was worn with the longer katana, when the pair matched in theme they were considered a Daisho. However, when the katana was surrendered upon entering a home the wakizashi was not, making it truly the side-arm of the Samurai! The fittings are hand cut and shaped from pure iron, an extremely tough material that takes a deep black patina and needs minimal maintenance. Iron will bend under tremendous shock instead of break, a feature any samurai would appreciate. The Lotus design of the tsuba is in an older, simpler style (kyo sukashi, maru gata) that reflects the nature of the sword.The tsuka or handle and scabbard are hand carved to fit each individual sword ensuring a proper fit. The it or handle wrap is of black natural silk imported from Japan. It is tightly wrapped around the full same-gawa or ray skin wrap with the proper hishigami or paper triangles present to ensure a long life of use. The saya is lacquered to a semi-gloss finish with buffalo horn mounts (koiguchi, kurikata and kojiri).These are extremely limited in numbers to be produced (20 only!). Each blade is signed on the tang with the model and number and includes a stamped certificate of authenticity.These swords are entirely hand-made by Citadel.Collect the set; a samurai wore two swords; the matching long sword, Katana, is also available to complete your collection.

Pine Crane Wakizashi

The artisans of Dragon King offer us another exquisite piece of revered symbolism from Japanese culture with the Pine Crane Daisho Set. The red-crown crane holds profound respect and power in the Japanese mythos believed to live for a thousand years. As a symbol of authority, a Japanese idiom says, “one word from the crane” referring to the final word that isn’t challenged. Marrying the symbolism of the pine tree, another icon of power, longevity and wisdom, Shinto beliefs state that the gods of heaven reside in the ancient pines. Often used in wedding attire, the red-crown crane mates for life which make sense to pair this theme with a matching wakizashi. The Pine Crane motif carries throughout both pieces in stirring flows of earth tones. The embossing on the bronzed steel tsuba, fuchi and kashira is so finely detailed echoing life in art. The black cotton ito (handle wrap) is beautifully contrasted by the white same, silver crane menuki, seppa, habaki and the bronzed fittings. The 19 5/8” forged T10 blade boasts a gorgeously prominent hamon with a mirror finished ji and mune. The 1 1/4” kissaki pierces quick and deep as the bill of crane. The textured brown saya contains all this majesty and power highlighted by the first 7” black and matte striped paint with a charcoal and copper accented sageo and buffalo horn korikata and kojiri.

Golden Oriole Wakizashi

During the Muromachi period (1568-1603), the introduction of the pairing of the Katana (the curved sword) and Wakizashi was introduced. The Wakizashi, or the shorter companion blade to the Katana, was about 18 inches long. Only the warrior class - the Samurai - was allowed to wear the two swords, which remained a custom for the next several hundred years until abolished in the 19th century. This Wakizashi is the companion piece to the Golden Oriole Katana, with matching fittings and blade construction. Supplied with protective cloth bag.

Dragonfly-Wakizashi, with Bo-Hi

The Dragonfly Wakizashi is a relatively new addition to Bugei's lineup of swords. Made to be a companion sword to the Dragonfly Katana, it shares the same design, just scaled down to wakizashi size (50 cm shinogi zukuri blade with chu kissaki, 14 cm tsuka). The blade is not overly thin, but the nearly flat surface of the blade makes it an excellent soft target cutter. Each wakizashi is individually hand forged and folded from the superior Swedish Powdered Steel, available with or without bo-hi, and is very affordable. The Dragonfly Wakizashi tsuka is wrapped with dark brown silk tsukaito. All of our swords are tested extensively before they are put into production. We make sure that our swords perform as good as they look. The Dragonfly held a special significance to the Samurai. Their seemingly tireless movement reflected the Samurai's desire to give tireless service to his feudal Lord. The dark brown ito is set off by the black same making this a unique offering from Bugei. The lower shinogi and the scant hira-niku make this blade lighter and faster and gives it less resistance in cutting soft targets. The lighter weight, with available bo-hi, and beautiful hamon and hada, a product of the forging and folding of the Swedish Powdered steel, will make this sword a favorite of Iai practitioners as well as anyone interested in a light as well as fast sword. The fittings are made of iron that has been "antiqued" duplicating the look of many antique fittings. Ted Tenold is responsible for the design and authenticity of these fittings and we think that they are some of the best that we have offered.

Shobu Zukuri Wakizashi

The "Shobu" Wakizashi is a warriors blade that hearkens back to the 14th century, a strong beautiful blade in the robust, classic Shobu Zukuri style. This wakizashi is an exceptional cutting blade as the samurai proved against the Mongol invaders where this style of sword proved more effective against the Mongol armor. This style of robust shobu zukuri evolved from the naginata/nagamaki that were renowned for their strength and cutting power. Shobu Zukuri means iris leaf, which refers to the shape of the beautifully curved kissaki. In our efforts to keep alive the Samurai past we enjoy reproducing historical blades of the samurai. This is a sword of the samurai, from a time when they were the elite warriors of Japan. It is our heaviest, most robust sword. Our Shobu Zukuri is a longer wakizashi at near 20" long with a 6.5" tsuka. The tsuba is a "hamidashi" style tsuba that complements the design of the Shobu Katana. The tsuka is wrapped in black silk ito and the saya is gloss black. Each blade is individually hand forged from Swedish Powdered Steel but is not folded to keep the price more affordable. The sword has a gentle suguha or sometimes a gentle notare hamon both of which we we felt more appropriate given the unfolded steel and the idea of a serious, no-nonsense sword. Swedish Powdered Steel is exceptional for it's purity and even carbon distribution. Starting then with the best steel the smith then hammer forges each sword individually. Careful heat treating produces a sword with a true martensite hamon (rockwell 60-62). The differential hardening leaves the body of the sword softer and more ductile, making it able to withstand shock in the classic Japanese tradition.

Lotus Seed Wakizashi

A beautiful symbol of the circular journey of enlightenment, the lotus seed starts its life in the muck before growing in to a stalk to emerge from the muddy water to blossom. As the bloom fades the maturing seeds fall back in to the mud to continue the cycle of rebirth, which is so beautifully depicted in our Lotus Seed Daisho set from Dragon King. Like the lotus blossom the Lotus Seed Katana transitions from various shade of violet from the wrapped cotton ito (handle wrap), the gold and purple sageo on the smooth deep, dark lacquered saya. Copper seeds accent the blackened furniture throughout the handle. The immaculately detailed budding seed pod following the shedding of its pedals centers the entire piece. Silver dragonfly menuki, seppa and habiki splash highlights across the 7" tsuka. The 19 3/8” forged T10 blade features a midare or irregular hamon (temper) line much like the path of life with its ups and downs. The wakizashi completes the motif with a bold statement both physically and metaphorically without being audacious in design. Specifications Overall: 27 1/2" Blade Length: 19 3/8" Handle Length: 7" Weight: 1 lbs 11 oz Sori: 1/2" Blade Steel: T10 Hrc Edge: 60 Hrc Back: 40 Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece.

Lion Dog Wakizashi

The Lion Dog Wakizashi features an O-Kissaki blade of Hanwei's own high-alloy HWS-1S steel, which combines superior performance with an outstanding O-choji hamon. This steel is made in Hanwei's new factory, with high-tech equipment, producing a very pure advanced-metallurgy blade with the best edge-holding capability and resilience of any blade ever produced by Hanwei. The outstanding performance characteristics of blades forged from HWS-1S steel derive from a combination of the careful selection of alloying elements and a complex processing procedure, basically involving the manipulation of the steel’s carbon content across the blade section. This results in a very tough and resilient blade with a hard, highly abrasion-resistant edge. The sharply detailed fittings feature a Lion-dog themed black iron tsuba, with matching fuchi/kashira and golden peony menuki. The complex saya features a gloss-lacquered ribbed section at the koiguchi/kurikata with the balance spatter-lacquered for a very attractive appearance. The premium multi-coloured sageo is hand-woven in pure silk. Made by Hanwei. Details: Length: 69.5 cm Blade length: 52 cm Weight: 737 g Blade steel: HWS-1S Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece.

Golden Flower Wakizashi

The Golden Flower Wakizashi features an extraordinarily beautiful tsuba which certainly has been made by a grand master in the 18th century. As these did not sign their work in contrary to the blade smiths, the creator is not known by name. The tsuba has been intricately decorated with golden cherry blossoms (sakura). The cherry blossom is one of the most important symbols in Japanese culture. It stands for beauty, departure and the transience of life. The wakizashi has a handforged blade made of carbon steel with a fine hamon and has been tempered traditionally. In addition, the steel of the blade has been folded 12 times, that means about 8000 layers have been created which give the sword a beautiful damascus pattern. The sharp blade features a hi (fuller) to reduce the total weight. The handle (tsuka) is made of wood, has been coated with real fish skin and features two menukis.

Sea Wave Wakizashi

Sea waves are unique in the duality of their existence. They are fleeting yet eternal with their ebb and flow. The sound of sea waves can invoke a serene calmness and relaxation or fear and mortal dread when violently stirred. In medieval Japan the “katana” was symbol of peace, power and order but when in the wrong hands could be used for chaos, death and destruction. Our Sea Wave Katana and Wakizashi from Dragon King embody similar dualities in their existence.The placid blue saya conceals a rippling folded steel blade featuring bo-hi (groove) collared by a silver hibaki and notched seppa. The hada and hamon mirror the silver turbulent waves depicted tsuba, kashira and fuchi. Silver and gold menuki contrast against the dark blue tsuka handle wrap overlaid white same (ray skin). A blue and white sageo complete the saya accented by buffalo horn kurikata and koiguchi. The Sea Wave Katana & Wakizashi feature another duality between being formidable weapons and works of art. Key Features: Overall: 28" Blade Length: 20" Handle Length: 6 5/8" Weight: 1 lb 6 oz Sori: 3/8" Hrc Edge: 60 Hrc Back: 40 Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece.

Inmortal Wakizashi

The wakizashi meaning "side inserted sword" is one of the traditionally made Japanese swords worn by the samurai class in feudal Japan.The wakizashi being worn together with the katana was the official sign that the wearer was a samurai or swordsman of feudal Japan. When worn together the pair of swords were called daishō, which translates literally as "big-little". The wakizashi was one of several short swords available for use by samurai including the tantō.While the wearing of katana was limited to the samurai class, wakizashi of legal length (ko-wakizashi) could be carried by the chonin class which included merchants. This was common when traveling due to the risk of encountering bandits. Wakizashi were worn on the left side, secured to the waist sash. Details: • Overall: 85 cm • Width: 8 cm • Weight: 1,2 kg
