The Nami Wakizashi Shinken is an elite handmade Japanese sword and a signature piece in the YariNoHanzo Superior Series — a line crafted for the most demanding collectors and martial artists worldwide. This exceptional wakizashi stands apart for its unmatched elegance, historical accuracy, and cutting-edge performance.
The name "Nami" means waves in Japanese, and this theme flows throughout the koshirae (mountings), giving the sword a fluid, elegant aesthetic. Every element — from the Tsuba, Fuchi, and Kashira to the buffalo horn accents — is inspired by original fittings found in prestigious Japanese museum collections. This exclusive design is only available from YariNoHanzo and has often been imitated by others — but never replicated with the same craftsmanship and authenticity.
At the core is a Maru Kitae forged blade made from 1095 high carbon steel, known for its superior edge hardness and durability. It is clay tempered to create a bold, visible Gunome Choji hamon — a hallmark of traditional Japanese swordsmithing. The blade is constructed without bohi to increase mass and cutting power, and features a stunning O-Kissaki (extended tip), which adds both beauty and authority.
Engineered for real-world martial arts use, including Tameshigiri and Battodo, the Nami Wakizashi is razor-sharp, perfectly balanced, and reinforced with a full tang construction. It is secured with a single mekugi (bamboo peg) to ensure safety and strength in all practice conditions.
The handle features a luxurious wrap in black silk tsukaito, tied in Hinerimaki style, reinforced with hishigami, and layered over genuine Samegawa (ray skin) — a combination that ensures grip, aesthetics, and durability.
The black lacquered saya is handmade from natural hardwood and elegantly finished with real buffalo horn at the kurikata, kojiri, and koiguchi, reflecting a level of detail typically reserved for custom work.
The Nami Wakizashi is supplied without sageo, allowing martial artists to personalize their mounting according to their ryu or dojo. It also comes with a premium burgundy cotton sword bag for refined storage and safe transportation.
Every Nami Wakizashi passes YariNoHanzo's rigorous quality control, guaranteeing excellence in every detail. For those who seek an authentic, battle-ready wakizashi with museum-level refinement, this is the ultimate choice.
