Torn Silk – Hand Forged Carbon Steel Wakizashi Sword
$139.99
Torn Silk (裂帛) takes its name from the sharp, clean sound of silk being torn — a metaphor for a blade so keen it parts material without resistance. The 1046 steel with blue heat treatment and polished white edge creates the same two-tone visual drama as the Sunken Jade. 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 $139.99, the Torn Silk offers a distinctive two-tone aesthetic that commands attention — 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 Torn Silk made of?
The blade is forged from 1046 with blue heat treatment and polished white edge. The heat treatment creates a distinctive colored finish on the blade body while the edge is polished bright for visual contrast.
How do I maintain the blade finish?
The heat-treated finish is durable but should be oiled regularly with camellia oil to prevent oxidation. Avoid abrasive polishing which can remove the colored layer.
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.
