Orasaku Zukuri Honsanmai Wakizashi

Witness the exquisite craftsmanship of the ORASAKU ZUKURI HONSANMAI WAKISASHI (S05W). Spanning an overall length of 29 1/8 inches, it showcases a 22.5-inch blade, hand-forged and folded from high-carbon steel. The intriguing 1024-layer pattern reflects the legacy of ancient sword-making. The blade is clay-tempered and water-quenched to attain an edge hardness of 65 HRC and a body hardness of 35 HRC, providing the perfect balance between durability and sharpness.

Crafted in the distinctive Orasaku Zukuri style, this WAKISASHI is a testament to authenticity. Its tsuba, made from hand-crafted blackened copper, adds a refined aesthetic. The silver seppa and habaki pair harmoniously with the silver centipede menuki, enhancing the overall charm of the sword. Silver fuchi and kashira contribute further to its elegance.

The saya, painted with a dark red hand-rubbed lacquer, gives the sword a medium gloss finish. This is beautifully accented by silver elements and the handle is tastefully wrapped with a maroon and white-wine sageo. Silver elements such as the kurikata, koikuchi, and sayajiri complete the design, making the ORASAKU ZUKURI HONSANMAI WAKISASHI (S05W) a symbol of tradition and artistry.
