Wakizashi Shinrin no Kaze (森林の風脇差) – The Breath of the Forest
The Wakizashi Shinrin no Kaze embodies simplicity, elegance, and the refined tradition of the samurai spirit. Forged from T10 high carbon steel using the time-honored clay-tempering technique, the blade showcases a natural hamon line — a visible testament to its hardness, resilience, and craftsmanship.
Its minimalist design excludes the tsuba, creating a seamless profile between the polished grey blade and the hand-carved rosewood tsuka and saya. The balance is subtle yet precise, making this blade as much a piece of art as a weapon. The copper habaki, delicately engraved, adds a final touch of contrast and sophistication.
Whether you're a collector of traditional nihonto, a martial artist, or a lover of minimalist Japanese aesthetics, the Shinrin no Kaze is an essential blade that honors silence, nature, and deadly precision.
