The
John Lee Imori Wakizashi is an ideal complement to the
John Lee Imori Katana. Imori is the name of the Japanese (mountain) newt. The
golden ornamental pigs on the fittings are characteristic, which give the otherwise rather simple sword its name.
- Shinogi-zukuri-style blade with fuller (Bo-Hi), hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel.
- The blade is sharpened with an integrated Hamon line for a particularly authentic look.
- Handle wrapped in dark blue cotton in Katate Maki style (war wrapping).
- Black, matt lacquered wooden scabbard with glossy black lacquer speckles (Kuroishime style).
- With a long tang, which is fixed in the handle with 2 bamboo pins (Mekugi). The sword can thus be fully dismantled.
- No plastic is used, only high-quality, authentic materials are used.
- Blade clamp (Habaki) and washers (Seppa) are made of brass.
- The traditional handle wrapping is underlaid with real ray skin.
- All ornaments (tsuba, fuchi, menuki, kashira) are made of metal.
- Delivery takes place with a protective cover made of fabric and in an attractive collector's box.
- Every original John Lee sword comes with a seal and a certificate.
