Lion Dog Wakizashi

Lion Dog Wakizashi

The Lion Dog Wakizashi features an o-kissaki blade of Hanwei´s own high-alloy HWS-1S steel, which combines superior performance with an outstanding o-choji hamon.

This steel is made in Hanwei's new factory, with high-tech equipment, producing a very pure advanced-metallurgy blade with the best edge-holding capability and resilience of any blade ever produced by Hanwei.

The outstanding performance characteristics of blades forged from HWS-1S steel derive from a combination of the careful selection of alloying elements and a complex processing procedure, basically involving the manipulation of the steel's carbon content across the blade section. This results in a very tough and resilient blade with a hard, highly abrasion-resistant edge. The sharply detailed fittings feature a Lion Dog-themed black iron tsuba, with matching fuchi/kashira and golden peony menuki. The complex saya features a gloss-lacquered ribbed section at the koiguchi/kurikata with the balance spatter-lacquered for a very attractive appearance. The premium multi-colored sageo is hand-woven in pure silk.

The matching Lion Dog Katana (Product no. SH2439) is also available to complete your collection.
