the Tactical Wakizashi
« on: September 24, 2010, 10:43:03 AM »
 when i saw the old topic about a sword for fighting  thoght of the Tactical Wakizashi.  here what it's says about it .

The ''Sidearm of the Samurai'' gets a serious update in hanwei's new Tactical Wakizashi, designed for strenuous outdoor use and protection. Based on the blade geometry and superb cutting ability of the Raptor series wakizashi but with full tang construction for ultimate strength, the Tactical Wakizashi 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.


and only for 94- 150$ too. I think i have found my new sword.

5160 is a tough steel.  It'll take a lot of abuse.

with a plasma coated blade for  corrosion protection, checkered Kraton handles, and  fiberglass scabbard this thing was made for hard use.  I might get if for a CHRISTmas gift for myself.

When you said Christmas all I could think of is the kid in Christmas Story asking for a red rider carbine action with the compass in the stock and everyone telling him he will shoot his eye out.
Not sure what the sword version would be.
But my version is you'll lop you leg off.
Although fishing on the East Coast and dropping a couple big eye tuna off at the fulton fish market in the 80's there was a Japanese gentleman that was taking the 500 to 800 pound tuna apart with a short sword to be weighed and frozen and shipped back to Japan.
Made sense as it was long and sharp to get the heads and tails off that we later found they would buy if you tried to take them with you.
