Description

Introducing the United Cutlery Shikoto Longquan Master Wakizashi Sword and Scabbard - 19 Inch. A stunning embodiment of traditional craftsmanship, blending historical techniques with modern artistry. Measuring 19 3/4 inches in blade length, this sword serves as a testament to the time-honoured methods used by skilled smiths for over 2,500 years.

Crafted from T10 high carbon steel, the blade has been expertly hammer-forged and clay tempered, resulting in a striking visible hamon line that enhances both its aesthetic appeal and functional quality. The differential hardening process used in its creation ensures that the cutting edge is incredibly hard and sharp, while the spine remains softer for improved flexibility and resilience-a hallmark of a premium blade. The sword's fittings include a solid iron tsuba, which not only adds to its durability but also complements the overall aesthetic. The handle, made from wood, features traditional cord wrapping over genuine tea-dyed rayskin, providing a comfortable and secure grip that honours the samurai tradition.

This magnificent wakizashi is elegantly housed in a black lacquered and polished wooden scabbard, complete with cord-wrapping that adds a touch of sophistication to its presentation. Each Shikoto Longquan Master Wakizashi comes with a certificate of authenticity that details the forging specifications and is signed by the master swordsmith who crafted the blade, assuring you of its quality and heritage. Whether displayed as a collector's piece or used in martial arts practice, the United Cutlery Shikoto Longquan Master Wakizashi Sword is not only a weapon of elegance and power but also a link to the rich history of Japanese sword making.
