Akito Wakizashi-Magnum Best

Purity, diligence and humility were among the basic characteristics of the time-honoured Samurai. As a tribute to the glorious warriors of feudal Japan, Boker presents the Magnum Akito Wakizashi. The short sword was once only allowed to be carried by respected people in society and played out its strengths over the katana especially in close quarters combat. Many loving details adorn the sword and bring the spirit of the Samurai closer. The blade made of non-stainless carbon steel has a traditional bo-hi (hollow groove), while the wooden handle has a lovingly decorated tsuba (stabbing blade), menuki (decorative elements below the handle wrap) and a black tsuka-ito (handle strap). The black lacquered wooden saya (sword sheath) has a typical sageo cord to attach it to the belt. Thanks to the sharpened blade, tameshigiri (cutting tests) can be practiced and thus the handling of the sword can be refined.
