Functional, Full Tang Wakizashi
The type of steel that makes the blade of this wakizashi is T10 steel. It has a carbon content of 1% and an HRC hardness of 62. Its one of the best choices of steel, making this wakizashi great for most practice cutting. Targets usually consist of tatami mats, bamboo, or tree branches. With that, this wakizashi is also excellent for extensive tameshigiri. The sword is also clay tempered, giving it a soft spine and hard edge. This can be achieved via the classic method of clay coat tempering.
Since this wakizashi is a full tang, its blade and handle are a single piece of solid metal. This gives the wakizashi a great level of rigidity to it, allowing you to enjoy a solid and durable piece for practice.
The Saya and Accessories
This wakizashi saya is made of full ray skin and buffalo horn. It brings more aesthetic value to the blade. Also, it protects the wakizashi blade when being stored for display.

A samegawa protects the wakizashi tsuka. It also helps keep your hand dry, letting you grip the sword properly during practice. This also prevents the wakizashi from slipping. A white silk ito or tsuka-ito also accompanies the samegawa. This has both aesthetic and functional purpose but it mainly prevents technical failure.
