Hand Forged Wakizashi, Full Tang Heat-Tempered Japanese Short Sword

Nice looking little blade. The longer handle on it allows for one or two handed use. There are 2 pins in the handle so I'm thinking it's full tang. The blade itself has nice proportions, with the balance about 3 inches in front of the tsuba (guard), 1.5 inches in front of the habaki (brass in front of the guard). Bohi (groove) runs most of the length of the blade. After I cleaned the shipping grease off I noticed it was sharp, but not too sharp. The ito (wrap) is cotton, tied tightly. The saya (scabbard) is of decent quality and locks the blade in nicely. Overall great value for the price, I would buy it again.

It is a well balanced weapon, came battle ready and sharp. Grip is good for a secondary weapon easy to draw and resheath.

I like everything about it... Great balance, rigid, makes a nice sound when cutting on the air, great grip. The sharpness could have been a tiny bit better but I am not going to use this katana to make real cut, mostly for learning and demonstration so it might be a good thing. Packaging was great, the sword was in an excellent state and very protected. Just for the sake of it, a certificate of the fact that it was handmade would have been great.

It's made fairly well and it looks nice but the finer details and fit are lacking. 1045 if quenched properly can perform but it's not the greatest steel to use.. Thats in the description tho so you are informed before buying and should know what you're getting. The kassaki and boshi wasn't sharp at all literally not formed to a cutting edge and dull like a butter knife. The rest of the sword seemed put together but the Tsuka & Kashira could have been better fitted. Saya is very basic. No thrills or frills there. It's a sub 150 dollar sword. Good for practice and light cuts.

I haven't tested this guy out yet (mostly because it isn't for me), but for the price I really, really like this weapon. It came oiled in its package, wrapped well, sharp, good design. I couldn't find a "Made in China" stamp anywhere (which I was absolutely expecting), it's been properly heat treated and tempered, and- the best part- it has full tang. This baby is not wobbling in the handle! No complaints from my end. I'm not much for Asian weaponry, I definitely favor European weapons, but this thing gave me a run for my money. I generally don't try to remember the names of sellers, but I'd do business with this company again. Wonderful.

Good sword. I test this sword on my backyard trees many times. Cut clear 1 inch apple tree branch no problem. No chips on the blade, no surface scratch like new. 👍

Beautiful wakizashi

For this wakizashi being something sold on Amazon, it’s well worth the money(should probably be priced higher actually). This traditional Japanese short sword is an absolute steal. I’ve actually used it several times against cardboard boxes and fruit. My cousins have yet to break it when I let em hold it(which is good). I would personally recommend sharpening it yourself if you want it ultra sharp, but it comes with a decent edge on it straight outta the tube(it came in a rather sturdy cardboard tube and held in place with packing styrofoam rings) so I’m satisfied with it as-is. 10/10 recommend this wakizashi if you’re trying to get a full (katana + wakizashi + tanto) set.

Looks very good. High quality!

Je ne savais pas vraiment à quoi m'attendre en achetant ce petit bijou, et voilà que je reçois cette petite merveille dans le délai donné. Merci Amazon, c'est le plus bel arme que j'ai jamais tenu dans mes mains. Superbe, solide, tranchant, je me sens maintenant comme un samouraï, il va donc falloir que j'apprenne le japonais....

I was very pleased with my purchase....the quality and workmanship was above my expectation!

not so bad , just not razor sharp

Beautiful --- sharp.. and a good weight.
