Woodheart Wakizashi
Description
The Woodheart Wakizashi is a sharpened full tang short sword made with a 1045 medium carbon steel blade and a lacquered solid wood saya. Its pale wood scabbard, ivory-tone handle wrap, dark polished blade, and gold-tone habaki give the piece a clean natural-wood look with a strong contrast at the blade.
The 52 cm blade has a visible bo-hi groove and a dark finish that makes the bright edge stand out clearly. The black openwork tsuba and gold-tone habaki frame the blade base while keeping the design simple and easy to read.
This wakizashi is suited for collection, display, gifting, and lawful cutting practice. Its 78 cm overall length gives it more presence than a compact short sword while still keeping the easier display scale of a wakizashi.
