Product description
This sword takes its name from its red-brown lacquered scabbard (saya), which shows the natural texture of the wood. Use it for iaito practice.
The blunt blade is built in the Shinogi-Zukuri style with a fuller (Bo-Hi), and made from 420 stainless steel. Rye hide covers the grip, wrapped with black cotton in the Hineri-Maki style. Two bamboo pins (mekugi) secure the long tang to the grip, making it fully replaceable. The habaki and seppa, sitting between the tsuba and blade, are made from brass. The tsuba (hand guard), fuchi (ring on top of the tsuba), menuki (grip decoration), and kashira (pommel) are all made from metal.
The wakizashi measures 78 cm overall, with a 52.5 cm blade and a 25 cm grip. It weighs 880 g without the scabbard.
Comes with a textile sleeve, a collector's box, and a certificate.
