- Sharpened Blade: The blade comes sharpened and ready for cutting practice, capable of handling light to medium-duty cuts, making it suitable for martial arts like Iaido or Kenjutsu.
- Blade Design: The wakizashi features a traditional curved blade with a subtle bevel for clean slicing. Its compact size makes it ideal for close-quarters combat or as a complementary sword to a katana in a samurai’s collection.
- Handle (Tsuka): The handle is wrapped in black or dark-colored cord (Ito), providing a secure and comfortable grip. Some models may feature ray skin (Samegawa) under the wrapping for a traditional feel.
- Guard (Tsuba): The guard typically comes in a simple, utilitarian design, offering basic hand protection while maintaining the sword’s overall tactical appearance. Some designs may include a flat or slightly contoured guard.
- Overall Length: The wakizashi typically ranges from 26 to 32 inches in total length, with the blade measuring between 20 and 24 inches, making it shorter and more manageable than a full-length katana.
