Orchid Wakizashi
Hanwei's Orchid Wakizashi by Paul Chen is as quick as it is beautiful, with a relatively light blade made of folded K120C steel and striking koshirae. The hamon is prominent and the hada shows distinct layers. This Samurai sword features a medium-length kissaki. High-quality same (ray skin) is used on the tsuka, and the tsuka-ito and sageo are woven from premium Japanese cotton. The blackened iron tsuba features an orchid and butterfly motifs inlaid in silver, brass and copper. The saya is deeply lacquered in blue with buffalo horn koiguchi and kurikata. The fuchi, kashira and kojiri are crafted in bronzed iron with silver and gold detailing. The habaki is a one-piece brass construction. More information...
