This is a custom,
extended grip wakizishi... specially made at the request of a dojo.
The tsuka length is 10.5" and has a very different balance
point and weight than all other swords. Simple colors and designs
top to bottom... This is a specialized two handed cutter and is
surprisingly easy to use relative to a standard wakizashi... whether
it be used as a one handed or two handed blade.
The overall
apparence of this wakizashi matches that of our Higo Katana. It
uses double mekugi. Standard Musashi Double ring tsuba make it attractive
for any collection.
Blade geometry
is simple and straightforward. Matching the apparence of all our
other katana.
Everything about
the blade from the habaki forward is the same as our standard wakizashi.
Everything from the habaki back is the same as our standard katana.
A very unique
sword not available elsewhere.
Same fittings
as our standard wakizashi.

is that the 7E has an extended 10.5" tsuka. This design is made at
the request of a karate dojo for their specialized cutting practices.
