Modern Tactical Wakizashi 1060 High Carbon Steel

Great sword! Only 2 minor things not very tactical about it are: 1) the very high-gloss reflective polish on the blade - I would have much preferred a non-reflective "tactical" finish, which I will just have to spend a little time & money to apply myself, & 2) the wooden sheath is better than some but still a little cheap & by the nature of wood itself - not really "tactical" at all - as wood will eventually succumb to exposure to wet weather conditions & water body (river/lake) crossings - which just means that I will have to invest extra money for a custom Kydex sheath. I would have happily paid an extra $50 - $100 for it, if it came with a quality "tactical" Kydex sheath. Also would pay 2x - 3x more for it if I could get it in a tougher, "High-Carbon" Steel, such as 1075, 1085, 1095 or a good Spring Steel such as 5160 or 9260, instead of the "Medium-Carbon" 1060 Steel that I purchased. If they could/would make it in a Premium Tool Steel such as T10, S7 or L6 Bainite with a "quality temper" - I would easily pay $1,000 - $1,500 for it! 🙏🏽😑🙏🏽

FAQ

What is the importance of provenance in determining a sword's value?

Provenance establishes the basic facts about a sword. It provides the date it was made, who made it and who owned it. This allows you to determine authenticity and, through this, the sword’s monetary and cultural value.

How can I protect myself from buying a fake Samurai sword?

Knowing the provenance of a Samurai sword is one sure way to ensure you are not duped. Purchasing the sword from an authorized and reputable dealer further safeguards against becoming the owner of a fake Samurai sword.

Are there any legal restrictions on owning a Samurai sword?

If you purchase a Samurai sword, you must be at least 18 in the United States. However, while owning and even displaying a Samurai sword in your residence is perfectly legal, state-governed restrictions may apply to whether you can carry it in public.

What are the responsibilities of owning a historical weapon?

If you own a historical weapon, you are assuming responsibility for its care and continuance. You must take care to treat it with the respect it deserves. You must ensure:

It retains its excellent condition or can be restored appropriately to a pristine state.

What is the difference between “Musha” and “Musashi” swords?

The primary difference between Musha and Musashi swords lies in the materials and craftsmanship:

Musha Swords: These are more entry-level or budget-friendly swords, typically made with less expensive materials. They are perfect for beginners or those looking for a functional yet affordable sword.
Musashi Swords: These are higher-end swords, crafted with superior materials and greater attention to detail. They are often favored by collectors or martial artists seeking top-tier performance and aesthetic value.

Both Musha and Musashi swords are functional, but Musashi swords offer a premium experience with higher craftsmanship.
