Wakizashi Kurokiba (黒牙脇差) – The Black Fang Blade
Sharp, disciplined, and striking in its minimalism, the Wakizashi Kurokiba is a masterwork rooted in samurai tradition. Hand-forged from 1095 carbon steel, this blade features a prominent hamon line from its clay tempering — showcasing its dual hardness and razor-sharp edge.
Its tsuka (handle) is crafted from solid wood and wrapped in genuine black stingray skin, known as samegawa, providing unparalleled grip, texture, and prestige. The finely sculpted iron tsuba offers traditional ornamentation and hand protection. The blade is paired with a sleek black lacquered solid wood saya, highlighted by an elegant green sageo.
This wakizashi is ideal for practitioners, collectors, or anyone seeking the perfect combination of craftsmanship, balance, and samurai-era aesthetics.
