Phantom Wail – Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Wakizashi Sword

Phantom Wail – Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Wakizashi Sword

Phantom Wail (幽冥鬼泣) carries a name that translates to ghosts weeping in the underworld — dark, atmospheric, and unmistakably bold. The 1060 carbon steel blade offers improved edge retention over entry-level steels. Hand-forged in Longquan with the classic shinogi-zukuri blade geometry, the 32cm blade is tempered for consistent hardness throughout.

Alloy fittings and cotton ito handle wrapping provide secure, traditional handling. The solid wood saya with piano lacquer finish protects the blade and presents it cleanly on a display stand. At 52cm total length and 800g bare weight, this wakizashi handles with quick, responsive balance.

At $109.99, the Phantom Wail offers reliable 1060 steel performance at an accessible price — whether displayed alongside a katana as a traditional daisho pair or standing on its own as a collector’s piece.
