The katana is exquisitely crafted with superb precision. I would particularly like to highlight the attention to detail. The intricate workmanship creates a complete look and conveys the feel of a truly high-quality product. Delivery to Germany went smoothly and arrived on time.

Why choose the Wakizashi format?Proportion and design direction
A Wakizashi uses a shorter proportion than a full-length katana while retaining the familiar blade, mounting, handle and scabbard design language. It can suit a collector who prefers a more compact silhouette, wants a shorter companion piece or is building a coordinated display. The format establishes the proportion; the options in the builder establish the appearance of this order.
Start with the overall contrast you want—restrained, traditional-inspired, dark, bright or highly decorative—then make the blade, fittings, handle and saya support the same direction. A deliberate palette usually produces a more coherent result than choosing every component in isolation.
Blade, steel and edge decisionsMaterial, geometry, polish and inscription
The current builder separates the blade into practical decisions such as material or steel, blade shape, cutting-edge option, groove, point line, polish and inscription. These controls may appear under names including Zukuri, Ha, Bo-Hi, Yokote, Togi and Mei. Follow the options actually shown in the live builder because availability and priced combinations can change.
Review the full blade selection as one system. A groove changes the visual rhythm of the blade; polish affects its surface presentation; the edge choice affects handling responsibility; and an inscription should be checked character by character before checkout. The preview and saved configuration—not a generic product photograph—identify what you selected.
Tsuka, fittings and sayaBuild a coordinated mounting
The mounting choices bring most of the visible personality to a custom Wakizashi. Depending on current availability, the builder can include samegawa and its application style, tsuka-ito material, wrapping style, tsuba, seppa, habaki, fuchi and kashira, menuki, saya and sageo. Each category has a different role, but they should read as one composition when viewed together.
Use the large preview to compare colors and finishes after every major change. A simple method is to choose one dominant tone for the saya, one supporting tone for the handle and one metal finish that repeats across the fittings. The builder remains authoritative if a pictured example and a currently selectable option differ.

Questions before ordering
Custom Wakizashi FAQ
Will the price change as I choose options?

It helps you review the selected combination from several views. The saved configuration and Shopify order record are the operational reference for the custom build.
Can I add an inscription?

How long does production take?
Current guidance for a fully custom order is approximately 3–4 months before dispatch. Carrier transit begins only after workshop completion.
When will I see the shipping charge?
After you enter the delivery destination at checkout, Shopify shows the available shipping rate before payment is completed.
