Wakizashi

The Wakizashi is full tang that is held in place beneath the handle by a couple of mekugi pins (double pegged) for extra safety and security.

1095 steel is frim and strong steel and enable swords to keep their edge very sharp.
The blade contains a nice grain pattern (HADA) with 8192 layers of steel, which makes Wakizashi a highly valued sword simply because of its craftsmanship. The layers were a direct result of folding the 1095 Folded Steel repeatedly for 13 times.
To increase the sword’s artistic value, the Wakizashi blade is dyed with a Red Acid Dye tone.
