Hello everyone, I would like to share my recent work.
I hope you like it!
Japanese wakizashi sword in SAE 52100 steel
Very well done raw forging finish
heat treatment in a controlled temperature oven and two tempering cycles
hardness estimated at 58 Hrc
Comes with printed buffalo leather sheath.
Display in striped ipe with small horn and 10g silver plate
Estimated working time of 1 month!
The final value of my pieces is calculated here in southern Brazil where I live and have been producing my knives for 7 years.
I always try to meet the basic criteria of assembly, geometry, ergonomics and a little art too!
In the value of the knife, the average shipping value is added, "which for the USA is on average 200 Brazilian reais and 70 $ USD for you, and also the transfer fee via Paypal, which for Brazil is an incredible 12%, justifying some values
I hope you're enjoying my knives because there's a lot of me in them!
The goal for one year is to make fewer knives but with better quality and art involved.

Total length: 35", 88 cm
Blade Length: 20" 53 cm
