Hanwei Golden Oriole Wakizashi |
|
|
|
The elegantly simple lines of the Paul Chen / Hanwei Golden Oriole Wakizashi have long been favored by admirers of the Japanese sword.
The story told by the stunning tsuba is of a mantis stealthily stalking a cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by a golden oriole.
The blade is hand-forged in high carbon steel and is differentially hardened to display a distinct hamon. The deeply lacquered blue of the saya is repeated in the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito, and a cricket motif appears again on the kashira. Every Wakizashi comes with a custom-fit cloth bag for proper protection and a Japanese blade maintenance kit.
The matching Golden Oriole Katana (Product no. SH1018) is also available to complete your collection.
