Bamboo Mat Wakizashi by Paul Chen / Hanwei

Our Bamboo Mat Wakizashi features a chu-kissaki blade of Hanwei's own high-alloy HWS-2S steel,  which combines impressive performance with a striking O-choji hamon.  This steel is made in Hanwei's new factory,  with high-tech equipment,  producing a very pure,  advanced-metallurgy blade with excellent edge-holding capability and resilience.

The fittings feature a bamboo-themed black iron tsuba,  textured in a bamboo mat design with a jointed bamboo rim and highlighted with gold-tipped bamboo leaves.  The fuchi/kashira follow the same theme and the golden menuki feature a pair of sparrows.  The saya is finished in high-gloss lacquer with horn fittings.

Please note: the katana, wakizashi or tanto’s sageo (cord) on the saya (scabbard) may not be wrapped as pictured. Sageo color may vary.

Collect the set; a samurai wore two swords,  the matching Katana is also available to complete your collection.  Bamboo Mat Katana
