Crimson Shirasaya Wakizashi
Description
The Crimson Shirasaya Wakizashi is a sharpened full tang short sword made with a 1045 medium carbon steel blade and a red lacquered solid wood saya. Its clean guardless profile, red lacquer mounting, dark polished blade, and gold-tone habaki give it a bold but restrained display look.
The 52 cm blade has a visible bo-hi groove and a dark finish that creates strong contrast against the bright cutting edge. The red saya and matching red handle keep the design simple, while the gold-tone habaki adds a warm accent at the blade base.
This wakizashi is suited for collection, display, gifting, and lawful cutting practice. A presentation box is included, making it a finished option for buyers who want a compact Japanese-style sword with a strong red-and-black visual identity.
