Product description
Imori is the name of the Japanese mountain newt. The golden decorative newts are its defining characteristic, giving this simple but elegantly shaped wakizashi its name.
The wakizashi measures 76.5 cm in total length, with a 51.5 cm blade and a 24.5 cm grip (tsuka). It weighs 830 g. The blade is hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel in the Shinogi-Zukiri style with a fuller, and comes sharpened. Blue cotton grip wrapping in the Katate-Maki style (designed for war) pairs with a black lacquered scabbard (saya) finished in shiny black paint (Kuroishime style). Includes a striking collector's box.
John Lee's models draw inspiration from historical originals and are high-quality weapons. No plastics are used — only authentic materials like metal, brass, wood, and shagreen. Every John Lee weapon comes with a seal and a certificate of authenticity.
