Overview
Hanwei - Great Wave Wakizashi
The companion sword to the Hanwei Great Wave Katana (SH5004), the Great Wave Wakizashi is an excellent sword in its own right and its fine finish and strong theme allow it to stand out in a collection all by itself. The blade is forged from T10 high carbon steel and is finished with a high level of polish that brings out its clay-tempered hamon with its edge of hardened steel and body of slightly softer shock-absorbing steel. The tsuba, fuchi and kashira hilt components are crafted from antiqued iron with brass detailing and the wooden tsuka grip has panels of genuine rayskin which are tightly bound in Japanese black cotton. Its habaki and seppa are cast from durable brass.
Included with the Wakizashi is a skillfully carved saya of wood which is finished with a glossy black lacquer and knotted sageo cord of Japanese cotton to match the sword. A Hanwei traditional sword maintenance kit and a cloth sword bag are also included.

The Maker
Hanwei
Shop Hanwei Swords, Armor & More
Master sword smith Paul Chen created Hanwei Swords and led the early industry by creating authentic handmade swords of the highest grade steel over the last several decades. A favorite amongst the industry, the original Hanwei factory suffered from a fire and ownership changes. In 2025, the factory closed and original collaborator Frenchie Jin’s forge (Dragon King / Kingston Arms) has taken over, improving and reintroducing past models. The reinvented Hanwei focuses primarily on Japanese and Chinese models, including the Performance Series Katana. Many of the original European models are now adopted as part of the Kingston Arms line.
