These swords are built to high standards and considered both high-quality and battle ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShirasayas are minimalist Japanese blade mountings consisting of a plain scabbard (saya) and matching hilt (tsuka). Traditionally used for storage when a sword was not expected to see active use, the lack of a guard or handle wrapping made them unsuitable for direct combat—but their slim profile made them excellent for concealment and stealth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fire and Steel Assassin’s Wakizashi is a modern interpretation of this style, built for stealth over sustained combat. It features a straight blade made from 1060 high carbon steel, housed in a lacquered wooden sheath for durability and a polished finish. The construction includes a mekugi peg, offering better structural integrity and aligning it more with functional sword designs than traditional storage mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact and discreet, this wakizashi is ideal for collectors who appreciate a sleek, functional take on a historically stealth-oriented blade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSee more of our\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fireandsteel.ca\/collections\/fire-and-steel-exclusive-gear\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fireandsteel.ca\/collections\/fire-and-steel-exclusive-gear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFire and Steel Exclusive Collection here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire and Steel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51062633890130,"sku":"ZS9216","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/7039\/1890\/files\/Assassin_sWakazashi_BattleReady_01.jpg?v=1751648407","url":"https:\/\/tophatters.co\/products\/fire-and-steel-assassins-wakazashi","provider":"Tophatter's Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
