BLACK WAKIZASHI (432) by MARTO of Spain

The Marto Black Wakizashi is mounted in black and the tsuka-ito is in Japanese cotton over ray skin. The tsuba is formed by a finely rendered dragon, detailed in bronze, with true back-and-front detail. The fittings are superbly antiqued adding to the aesthetics of the piece. The blade is forged in Toledo Spain and is of 440 steel and features a Bo-Hi grove. The Saya is in Black lacquer and houses a Kogatana (small knife) with antiqued silver finish. The Black Wakizashi measures 30 inches overall. See model 412 for the companion Katana.

Marto has been a leader in quality for nearly 50 years, and as many collectors know, the attention to the exquisite detailing as demonstrated in this Black Wakizashi continues to validate Marto's reputation as maker of the finest decorative Japanese swords in the market today.
