*** Pros / Cons ***

+ Remarkably tight assembly, flawless finish
+ Excellent edge and blade geometry

- Mediocre edge retention

*** Verdict ***

Since Japanese swords generally do not interest me much I don’t have much to compare it to, but on its own merit this wakizashi seems like a well made reproduction.

It’s very well fitted and can stand up to abuse. The edge dulled more quickly than I had expected but the blade overall didn’t take noticeable damage from use on hard targets. The handling and cutting performance are definitely satisfying.

Overall I find this wakizashi quite easy to recommend as a functional sword for cutting practice on water bottles, tatami mats and similar targets.
