Product Description
The Sidearm of the Samurai gets a serious update in Cas Hanwei's Tactical Wakisashi, designed for strenuous outdoor use and protection. Based on the blade geometry and superb cutting ability of our Raptor series wakisashi but with full tang construction for ultimate strength, the Tactical Wakisashi is equal to any required task and then some. The 5160 high-carbon spring steel blade is plasma coated for corrosion protection and the checkered Kraton handle provides a sure foul-weather grip. The fiberglass scabbard construction avoids water absorption and reduces carrying weight, while several lanyard holes and the included ParaCord provide carrying and backpack attachment options. 21" blade. 31" overall.
Freaking Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />I just got this today and WOW? Very Impressed. It's the perfect length for someone my height (I'm 5'6"). It's my of quality steel. I love that it's spring steel, it makes it very durable for outdoor use. It came fairly sharp, but I was able to hone it to a razors edge. I've heard some people had problems with the scabbard, mine has a very nice fit and doesn't slide out on its own. Very nice blade of a great price!!!

Received my Wakizashi in short amount of time (This is why I keep coming back,great service!). The sword is much better in hand than in oictures, mine came in quite sharp, not razor sharp but good enough for it's intended purpose, it is a fast handling weapon/tool. There is one thing that surprised me, it is full tang, blade is approx. 1/4 inch thick(a good looking piece of steel & I really like the effect of the coating), but blade is quite flexable not as stiff as my other Katanas, since this is my first Wakizashi, perhaps it is normal? I did some light cutting and it performed flawlessly! It will be part of my bug out pack! I am anxious to see the upcoming Tactical Katana, this will be a must have item!

Mine came with only the tip sharpened. The edge is VERY hard. It took me forever to sharpen. Honed to a razor edge though, and I doubt it will dull easily. Good balance. Solid construction.

I must say, this is one tough, MEAN little sword, well worth the long wait for cross-country shipping. Evan went above and beyond the call of duty with this order; I have never had a better experience working out an order that was, in fact, OUT OF STOCK when I ordered. Even without a prepaid pre-order, he was glad to hold some time for me, and I expect this sword to stay on as my camping and survival sidearm for quite some time. <br /><br />A couple things not mentioned in the description; <br />The eye-ring at pommel has an adjustable(and, if you choose, removable) wrist strap;<br />Also, the end of the saya has a ventilation hole, which allows it to be used as a snorkel or blow tube, or at the very least allows for a little airflow inside to prevent the formation of mildew or condensation.<br /><br />Thanks for another great buy!

Blade is true, and sword features a true full tang of fairly thick (1/4'') 5160 steel. Fit and finish is quite good with no loose scales and no gaps anywhere. My impression is that that this is a good functional sword, saving cost by skipping decoration, abandoning traditional style and omitting mirror polishing to bring the customer a good piece of steel at an affordable price. I have no hesitation using this sword as I am confident in the tang -- and the price makes actual use a reality without the looming concern of damaging an expensive blade weighing in the back of my mind. The sheath is fiberglass: thick and strong. No concerns about cracking it or bending it, but it does not hold the sword with much friction and it will come out if turned upside down.
