Wakizashi

Discover our premium collection of Japanese Wakizashi swords, each one fully hand-forged using traditional methods passed down through generations of skilled swordsmiths. The wakizashi, a short companion sword to the katana, has long symbolized honor, duty, and precision in samurai tradition.

At HanBon Forge, we offer a variety of wakizashi blades made with clay-tempered T10 steel, folded Damascus steel, and Kobuse lamination techniques. Choose from a range of fittings, handle wraps, saya (scabbards), and engravings — or customize your own wakizashi for a truly personal sword experience.

Whether you're a martial artist, sword collector, or historical enthusiast, our wakizashi swords are fully functional, full tang, and sharpened by hand — perfect for cutting practice, Iaido, Kenjutsu, or display.
