Snowfall Without Trace – Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Wakizashi Sword
Snowfall Without Trace (雪落无痕) embodies the concept of snow falling so softly it leaves no mark — a poetic way of describing effortless precision. The 1060 carbon steel blade delivers clean, quiet performance. 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 Snowfall Without Trace 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What steel is the Snowfall Without Trace made of?
The blade is forged from 1060 carbon steel. This medium-high carbon steel provides good edge retention and toughness for a compact blade.
How do I maintain the blade finish?
Apply camellia oil after each handling and store horizontally in the saya. Standard carbon steel maintenance applies.
Can this be paired with a katana as a daisho?
Yes. Our wakizashi models are designed to complement our katana line. Traditionally, samurai wore a katana and wakizashi together as a daisho (大小) pair. Any of our wakizashi pair well with our katana models for a complete display set.
