What makes a wakizashi different?

The wakizashi is a little sword that packs a big punch. Known for its compact size and deadly effectiveness, the wakizashi has a long and storied history in Japan.
The Wakizashi
Originally developed as a sidearm for samurai warriors, the wakizashi was the perfect weapon for close-quarters combat. Its shorter length allowed for quick and agile movements, making it ideal for fighting in tight spaces like hallways and staircases. But the wakizashi wasn't just a practical weapon; it was also a symbol of status and honor. In feudal Japan, it was customary for samurai to carry both a katana and a wakizashi as a sign of their social standing.
The wakizashi was often given as a gift to a samurai upon achieving a certain rank or completing a major accomplishment.
Of course, like any good weapon, the wakizashi has also had its fair share of legendary tales and myths. One such story tells of a famous swordsman who was able to slice a fly in half with his wakizashi in mid-air. Whether or not that's actually true, it's certainly a testament to the blade's sharpness and precision.
Sharpness Of Wakizashi
But the wakizashi isn't just a relic of the past; it still has a place in modern society. In fact, many martial artists still train with wakizashi as a way to hone their skills in close combat.
Shirasaya Wakizashi
One interesting feature of the wakizashi is the way it was worn by the samurai warriors. Unlike the katana, which was worn slung across the back, the wakizashi was worn thrust through the belt (obi) of the samurai's kimono, with the hilt facing upward. This made it easy for the samurai to draw the sword quickly and strike with deadly accuracy.
In addition to its use in combat, the wakizashi also played a role in Japanese culture and ceremony. It was often used as a tool for ritual suicide (seppuku), which was considered an honorable way to die for samurai who had committed a grave offense or lost a battle. The samurai would use the wakizashi to stab themselves in the abdomen, and then a second samurai would behead them with a katana to end their suffering.

Where can I buy my own wakizashi?

At Katansforsale we offer the best selection of high-quality wakizashi swords for sale on the market.
Custom Wakizashi
One of the standout features of our wakizashi swords is the use of high-quality carbon steel in their construction. This type of steel is renowned for its durability, strength, and resistance to corrosion, ensuring that your wakizashi will be able to withstand the rigors of use and remain in top condition for years to come.
Why no stainless steel? Because this type of steel, although makes great knives, it’s terrible for swords. Any wakizashi made out of stainless steel would easily break the moment you use it.
We also take great care in ensuring that each wakizashi sword we sell is made with a full tang —- the blade goes all the way into the handle. This is a vital part of creating battle-ready wakizashis, since it makes them resistant to blows. A sword that is not full tang, it’s not a sword but simply a very expensive piece of decoration.
