Japanese Short Sword
The Japanese short sword “Yoru no Kiri”, meaning “Fog of the Night” in Japan, is hand-forged from multiple-folded T10 steel, clay-tempered, and comes with a blue hardwood saya. The handle is traditionally underlaid with real ray skin and tightly wrapped in silk. The blade undergoes traditional sand polishing.
The exquisite craftsmanship, the high-quality Damascus blade in a red-violet color, and the elegant saya elevate this Japanese wakizashi to a standout among mid-range priced samurai swords.
„A smile is worth a hundred words.“
