This is the Pine Crane Wakizashi, a Japanese samurai shortsword and an exquisite piece of revered symbolism of Japanese culture. It represents the red-crowned crane, a symbol of profound respect and power in Japanese mythos, believed to live for a thousand years. It also features the pine tree, another iconic symbol of power, longevity, and wisdom, deeply engraved in Shinto belief.<\/p>\n
This wakizashi comes with great attention to detail and is made with colors of earth tones. Its fittings are enriched with fine details echoing life in art.<\/p>\n
It carries a very tight cotton tsuka-ito wrap contrasted with real white rayskin, and a small square tsuba handguard also decorated with the crane motif. The blade is forged from T10 steel, renowned for its durability in cutting against hard targets.<\/p>\n
The blade has an authentic and real clay tempering hardening process that produced a real hamon, also enhanced with a thorough polish. It has been hardened to 60 with 40 on the edge and spine, making it ideal for tameshigiri (cutting practice).<\/p>\n
It comes with a scabbard that has been textured brown with a matte striped paint and buffalo horn fittings. It comes in a Daisho (set) with the Pine Crane Katana (SD35290). Since it is handmade, its specs will vary from piece to piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
