Japanese Samurai Wakizashi

The Japanese samurai wakizashi “Yoriyoi Doragon” translates to the “Golden Dragon” in Japan. Crafted from T10 steel, the blade undergoes differential hardening to reveal a genuine hamon. The tsuka (handle) is sheathed in real ray skin and tightly bound with Japanese silk. Handmade with meticulous care, this wakizashi comes with a black hardwood saya, adorned with exceptional dragon embellishments. The blade is traditionally polished with sand, enhancing its aesthetic and functional qualities.

The superior craftsmanship and sophisticated design make this wakizashi a distinguished piece among mid-range Japanese blades, capturing the essence of the golden dragon’s majesty.

„Learn to view the situation you’re in as a whole.“
(Miyamoto Musashi)
