A clean bo-hi runs along the blade, while the defined kissaki gives the short sword a clear, traditional profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the blade, the character shifts to wood and earth tones: a brown-wrapped handle with a white diamond underlay, a gold-tone habaki, and black-and-gold fittings. The pale solid-wood saya is carved with flowing linework rather than covered in glossy lacquer, giving the piece a lighter, natural feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt wakizashi scale, Nightingale keeps the display footprint compact while giving the saya enough room for its carved surface to be seen. The result is a short sword built around polished steel, warm brown wrapping, and carved wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: 1045 medium-carbon steel with a polished finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade feature: bo-hi and defined kissaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge options: sharpened or unsharpened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: warm brown wrap with white diamond-pattern underlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaya: pale carved solid wood with flowing decorative linework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFittings: black-and-gold zinc alloy set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge hardness: 55 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGeneral Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThis piece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWakizashi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1045 medium-carbon steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBo-hi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdge hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 HRC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarved solid wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZinc alloy set with black-and-gold finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown wrap with white diamond-pattern underlay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdge options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSharpened \/ Unsharpened\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMetric\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eImperial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall length with saya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.7 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.0 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.7 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.2 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight with saya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 0.7 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1.5 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Katana Sword Shop – IronPoet","offers":[{"title":"Sharpened","offer_id":48018361843886,"sku":"Y-5621W","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unsharpened","offer_id":48120087216302,"sku":"Y-5621W-U","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/2297\/3102\/files\/golden-leaf-wakizashi-full-display.jpg?v=1782497467","url":"https:\/\/ironpoet.com\/products\/nightingale-wakizashi","provider":"Katana Sword Shop – IronPoet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
