The Nobunaga Wakizashi Shinken represents the perfect fusion of martial functionality, historical prestige, and modern craftsmanship. Part of the acclaimed YariNoHanzo Superior Series, this top-quality handmade wakizashi is designed to satisfy the most demanding martial artists and sword collectors around the world.
Named after the legendary daimyo Oda Nobunaga, the sword is visually bold and structurally flawless — a weapon worthy of its namesake. The koshirae (mountings) are directly inspired by an original piece from the Edo-Meiji period, and feature unique stylistic elements not found in standard production swords. This elegant design delivers a commanding presence, making it one of the most visually impactful wakizashi in the YariNoHanzo lineup.
The blade is forged using the Maru Kitae method from 1095 high carbon steel, a material renowned for its hardness and edge retention. It undergoes traditional clay tempering, which produces a vivid Gunome Choji hamon across the blade. A bohi (groove) reduces weight and allows for the generation of the tachikaze "cutting sound" in fluid movement.
Engineered specifically for Tameshigiri, Battodo, and traditional martial arts, this wakizashi is razor sharp, perfectly balanced, and built with a full tang construction, secured by a single mekugi (bamboo peg) for durability during intensive practice.
The handle is tightly wrapped with black silk tsukaito, using the Hineri Maki wrapping style with Hishigami inserts, providing superb grip and traditional aesthetic. Beneath the tsuka lies a layer of real Samegawa (ray skin) for added authenticity and grip stability.
The saya (scabbard) is lacquered in deep black and features real buffalo horn fittings at the kojiri, koiguchi, and kurikata, providing elegant durability and a luxurious finish.
Each sword is supplied without sageo, allowing practitioners to customize it according to their ryu or school tradition. It also includes a refined burgundy cotton bag for safe transport and elegant presentation.
The Nobunaga Wakizashi is an exclusive design by YariNoHanzo — a sword imitated by many, but only available here in its true and perfected form. It has become a favorite among collectors, martial artists, and connoisseurs of Japanese swords for its unique aesthetics and combat performance.
