Orchid Wakizashi
|
Orchid Wakizashi is a magnificent display oriental sword that is sold individually but overall belongs to a three piece collection. Every one of the three pieces in the Orchid Series has a hand-forged and folded K120C powder steel blade, differentially tempered using a traditional claying method to produce an HRC60 edge, HRC40 back. The temper line (hamon) is evident and prominent and the grain pattern (hada) shows distinct layers.
Orchid Wakizashi has the saya deeply lacquered in blue. This Orchid Collection piece features quality ray skin used on the tsuka, and the tsuka-ito. Also the sageo on all three pieces of the Orchid Series are interwoven from select Japanese cotton. The tsuba of the katana and wakizashi is made of blackened iron, with an Orchid and Butterfly decoration inlaid in silver, brass and copper.
The scabbard mouth of the Orchid Wakizashi (koiguchi) and cord knob (kurikata) are of buffalo horn, and the fuchi, kashira and kojiri are of bronzed iron with silver and gold detailing. The blade collar (habaki) is constructed of one piece brass. The katana and wakizashi of the Orchid Series feature a medium length (chu) kissaki.
