Wakizashi Shikoto Longuan Master: Battle-ready but definitely aesthetically pleasing.

When you hold a Shikoto Hammer-Forged Longquan Master sword in your hand, you are holding the same weapon a warrior used more than 2,500 years ago.

Using methods used by Bronze Age swordsmiths, the 19 3/4”  T10 high carbon tungsten steel blade has been hammer-forged and clay tempered to produce a visible hamon line. Differential hardening gives this magnificent sword a harder cutting edge and a softer spine, which is the hallmark of a high-quality weapon.

The tsuba and handle fittings are of solid brass with an aged bronze finish and the wooden handle has teal traditional cord wrapping over genuine, tea-dyed rayskin.

A black lacquered and polished wooden scabbard with cord-wrapping houses the blade.

Also included with the Shikoto Longquan Master Teal Wakizashi Sword is a certificate of authenticity with forging specifications, signed by the master swordsmith who crafted the blade.

Come with zen Wood box for storage with a cotton black bag.
