Fish Wakizashi – T10 Tsuchioki Sanbonsugi Clay Temper Koi Painted Silver Saya Mid Samurai Sword

Product Introduction

The Fish Wakizashi is aquatic koi themed medium-length samurai wakizashi, fully differentiated from PU leather vintage, plain shirasaya, tiger and fox animal series swords. Centered on traditional koi carp oriental symbol of fortune and vitality, this mid-size blade targets aquatic art collectors, tea room soft decor and elegant oriental cultural gifts.

The blade adopts premium T10 high carbon steel with traditional Tsuchioki clay differential temper craft, forming neat sanbonsugi continuous wave hamon, standard shinogi-zukuri profile without blood groove, notarekomi tip shape, multi-stage shiage fine mirror polishing and factory light sharp edge. This blade is only suitable for slow static drawing appreciation; heavy cutting and hard friction will damage delicate temper grain and are strictly prohibited.

Full mounting hardware is copper base gilded silver alloy with 3D koi fish relief carving, including dual-sided fish pattern tsuba, fish shaped fuchi & kashira, mini koi menuki and solid copper habaki/seppa. Imogata oval handle uses genuine natural ray samekawa skin inner lining wrapped with grey moro-hineri cotton ito. Scabbard is solid hardwood coated matte silver lacquer with hand printed koi lotus artwork, matched blue-gold mixed coarse cotton sageo cord. Equipped with two bamboo mekugi pegs for fully removable full tang, easy for regular blade anti-rust maintenance. A dedicated wakizashi fabric storage bag is provided as free gift; custom koi blade engraving upgrade available for extra charge.
