FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes this Butterfly Wakizashi distinct?
Butterfly fittings and the white saya create the main visual difference from darker Wakizashi listings.
How does it compare with Katana pages?
The Wakizashi format is shorter and more compact than full Katana pages.
What details guide comparison?
Compare Butterfly fittings, 1045 carbon steel, white saya, and mid-sized Wakizashi profile.
How do I maintain the blade?
Wipe dry after handling or use. Apply a light coat of choji or mineral oil along the full blade length before storing. Carbon steel will develop surface rust if left wet or unprotected β a minute of care after each session keeps the blade in condition indefinitely.
How do I know the quality is genuine?
Every sword is individually inspected and adjusted before leaving our California warehouse. We check edge geometry, fitment of all components, and the security of the mekugi pegs before packing. If anything is not right, it does not ship.
