Dragon‑Wakizashi – T10 Clay‑Tempered Little Golden‑Dragon Entry‑Level Wakizashi Sword

Product Introduction

The Dragon‑Wakizashi is entry‑level little golden‑dragon‑motif themed wakizashi short side‑arm sword, fully differentiated from high‑end warrior‑dragon wakizashi, myth‑dragon tachi, spring‑landscape‑art tachi, raptor‑eagle motif tachi, mineral‑art wakizashi, WWII military sabers and anime‑character replica swords. This beginner‑friendly themed collectible adopts premium T10 high‑carbon steel with traditional tsuchioki clay‑differential‑tempering delivering natural wavy‑pattern hamon temper‑line. It is equipped with exquisite gilded floral‑carved alloy mounting hardware, black moro‑hineri cotton ito tsuka with white faux ray‑fish samekawa inner lining, and solid hardwood finished in high‑gloss black lacquer decorated with vivid printed little golden‑dragon artwork, paired with thick black braided sageo cord. Target audiences include entry‑level nihonto beginner collectors, golden‑dragon‑motif hobby enthusiasts, compact desktop‑shelf display and budget‑friendly dragon‑theme decorative‑gift buyers.

The blade adopts premium T10 high‑carbon steel with traditional tsuchioki clay‑differential temper‑treatment, generating natural visible wavy‑pattern hamon temper‑line. Compact wakizashi‑style shinogi‑zukuri blade geometry without blood‑groove hi, subtle embossed yokote dividing‑line, small functional wakizashi‑style kissaki tip and factory light‑sharp finish. Temper‑line and printed lacquer saya scratch easily; only static desktop‑display and photo‑shooting are allowed. Heavy chopping and violent impact must be strictly prohibited to preserve entry‑level dragon‑motif collectible surface condition.

Complete mounting‑hardware set uses exquisite gilded floral‑carved alloy fittings, round floral‑ornament carved tsuba, matching‑motif fuchi & kashira, tiny floral‑shape gilded‑alloy menuki ornaments and solid‑brass habaki plus gilded‑alloy seppa washers. Short imogata‑style tsuka grip uses white faux artificial ray‑fish samekawa inner lining wrapped with thick black moro‑hineri cotton ito. Scabbard is solid hardwood finished in high‑gloss black lacquer printed with vivid little golden‑dragon artwork, fitted with gilded‑alloy koiguchi, kurikata and kojiri hardware; matched thick black braided sageo cord with gilded‑alloy clasp. Two natural bamboo mekugi pegs build fully‑removable full‑tang construction for blade inspection and regular anti‑rust maintenance.
