Buying guide
Open only the sections you need before returning to the builder.
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.
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.
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.
Fully custom orders currently require approximately 3–4 months before dispatch, depending on the configuration and workshop conditions. This is production time, not carrier transit time. Tracking begins after the completed parcel is handed to the shipping carrier.
Shipping is not included in the product price. Shopify calculates the available rate from the delivery address and order weight, and displays the final shipping charge before payment is completed. Destination availability varies because rules for bladed products differ by country and region.
The customer is responsible for confirming that purchase and import are permitted locally. Duties, taxes and customs handling depend on the destination and shipping route and may remain the recipient’s responsibility unless checkout or the current policy states otherwise. Review the Shipping Policy before placing the order.
Check every component and inscription before checkout. The current cancellation policy allows a cancellation request within 72 hours of placing the order. After that period, the order cannot be cancelled because materials and workshop capacity may already be allocated.
Customized products are not eligible for the standard return process. If the delivered item is damaged or defective, contact support promptly with the order number and clear photos so the issue can be reviewed. Read the complete Return & Refund Policy for the controlling terms.
