Damascus Wakizashi with Black Lacquer Saya - Pattern Steel Blade, Gold Scroll Tsuba, Black-White Ito

The blade is forged from folded damascus steel, producing a layered pattern across the flat that shifts in the light. A visible hamon line runs along the edge, and the chrome-finished surface carries a polished clarity typical of hand-finished wakizashi work. At 31 inches overall and 3 lbs, the proportions follow traditional wakizashi geometry - compact enough for display yet substantial in the hand.

The tsuka is built on a full tang core, wrapped in genuine white samegawa (ray skin) before the black-and-white cotton ito is applied in a classic diamond lozenge pattern. Gold menuki accents are set under the ito on each face, visible between the wraps and adding a warm metallic contrast to the monochrome handle.

The tsuba is cast in a gold tone and features an open ornate scroll design with lattice cutwork at the center - a motif that reads clearly against the dark habaki and tsuka. The fuchi carries matching gold detailing, tying the guard assembly into a coherent koshirae presentation.

The saya is shaped from hardwood finished in gloss black lacquer, with a matte texture that catches subtle variation across its surface. A black-and-white sageo cord is tied at the kurigata, echoing the handle ito and pulling the full mounting into visual balance. If you prefer a different finish, the Black Pattern Steel Wakizashi collection includes additional configurations.

This wakizashi ships at 4 lbs in a 33 x 4 x 4 inch package. The koshirae-style mounting, gold scroll tsuba, and folded damascus blade make it a focused collectible piece for Japanese sword enthusiasts. No sword stand is included.
