Shikoto Hammer-Forged Longquan Master Teal Wakizashi Sword

Shikoto Hammer-Forged Longquan Master Teal Wakizashi

When you hold a Shikoto Hammer-Forged Longquan Master sword in your hand, you are holding the same weapon a warrior used more than 2500 years ago. Using methods used by Bronze Age swordsmiths, the 1060 high carbon steel blade has been hammer-forged and clay tempered to produce a visible hamon line. Differential hardening gives this magnificent sword a harder cutting edge and a softer spine, which is the hallmark of a high-quality weapon. The tsuba and handle fittings are of solid brass and the wooden handle has traditional cord wrapping over genuine, tea-dyed rayskin.

A black lacquered and polished wooden scabbard with cord-wrapping houses the blade. Also included with the Shikoto Longquan Master Teal Wakizashi is a certificate of authenticity with forging specifications, signed by the master swordsmith who crafted the blade.
