Acquire Kami Wakizashi

kami wakizashi

The Hanwei Kami Wakizashi blade is hand-forged from K120C powdered steel, folded, and features a hand-engraved fudo horimono and bo-hi . The folding process results in exceptional surface grain ( hada ) along the blade, further highlighted by the pronounced hardness line ( hamon ).

The highest quality ray skin was used for the tsuka , and the tsuka-ito and sageo were woven from high-quality Japanese silk. Fuchi , kashira , kojiri , koiguchi , and kurigata were made of blackened bronze. Relief decoration and individual details were in copper, silver, and gold.

The tsuba , representing the guardian spirits of Shinto (kami), is made of hardened and blackened copper and decorated with embossed ornaments and individual details in silver and gold. The habaki consists of two parts: a lower part made of copper and an upper part made of gilded brass.

The skirt is painted deep red and has a black section in front of the opening that imitates a curve.

You can complete your collection with matching kami katana (sh1201) and kami tanto (sh1203).
