The blade of the Tonbo wakizashi is hand-forged and folded from powder steel, with a medium-length (chu) kissaki. The saya is a deep black lacquer featuring gold dragonflies. High quality samegawa (ray skin) is used on the tsuka. The tsuka-ito is made of premium purple Japanese cotton. The tsuba is expertly cast in stainless steel and patina'd like blacken iron, with detailing in gold and bronze and an exquisite dragonfly scene decoration.
The sageo compliments this piece and is elegently woven in premium black Japanese cotton. The fuchi and kashira are black with bronze and brass detailing, and the kojiri, koiguchi and kurikata are of polished buffalo horn. The habaki is a one-piece brass construction.
Please note: the katana, wakizashi or tanto’s sageo (cord) on the saya (scabbard) may not be wrapped as pictured. Sageo color may vary.
