With the exact same T-10 blades and fittings as the SBG Custom Katana, but your choice of either a Wakizashi (21" blade and 6.5" tsuka) or Ko Katana (standard 10.5" Katana length tsuka with 21" Wakizashi blade) you can order these along with your custom Katana or by themselves - the choice is yours!

As with the full length Katana, shipping is FREE in both the USA and Canada, but for all other shipping countries and destinations please contact me for a shipping quote before ordering.

Steps to Customize your Wakizashi/Ko Katana:
Refer to the images above to view the different choices.

1) Sword Type: Wakizashi version (21" blade with one handed, 6.5" tsuka/handle) or the Ko Katana (21" blade with standard 10.5" length handle)

2) Fuller Type: Select no-hi (stronger, more powerful cutter) or with bo-hi (faster and lighter sword)

3) Tsuba: Select the tsuba (hand guard) in either Brass and Alloy. The Brass tsuba are made from better quality metal, but many of the Alloy offer attractive designs.

4) Fittings: Choose matched pairs of alloy Fuchi and Kashira fittings.

5) Ito Color & Type: Select the ito handle wrap in cotton or synthetic silk (rayon) glossy cord. The tsuka (handle) is generally 10.5" long, though will vary by half an inch either way to achieve optimum balance for the sword.

6) Same: Choose white (traditional) or black (exotic) for the same (rayskin) underlay.

7) Saya: Select saya (sheath) color. The sageo (cord wrap) is the same color as the ito handle wrap selected above.

Price: $299.99

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

While the basic options are more than enough for most people - due to popular request we have added a few additional extra optional customizations if you wish to make your design just a little bit more personalized and special..

One optional upgrade regards the steel - you can now choose to have your sword folded for an additional $60.

OPTIONAL EXTRA: FOLDED STEEL

Another optional upgrade involves a small selection of more ornate saya options, pictured below - with some including a rattan wrap or traditional 'egg shell' style finish with prices ranging from $15 to $30 depending on the design.

Plus there is also the option of a rayskin wrap on the saya itself which is quite expensive at $70 but may be just the touch you are looking for to take your design to a new level.

OPTIONAL EXTRA: UPGRADED SCABBARD OPTIONS

Another extremely popular option is to have a 'horimono' engraving on any of the no-hi option blades, either a traditional design like the ones below or an engraving of your own choosing.

The price for an engraving is just $20 - if you want it to be in Japanese please send us the characters you wish to be added and we'll make it happen.

OPTIONAL EXTRA: Engravings

Finally, there is also the option for us to source you a type of tsuba that is not shown in our standard selection - here are a few very popular ones that were used in the custom katana v.1.0 that are available for an additional $20.

However, if you have a type of tsuba in mind that you have not seen in our selection we can probably find it for you - if so please email me a pic or a description and I'll see what we can come up with for an additional $20.

OPTIONAL EXTRA: Other tsuba designs

NEW OPTIONS ADDED OCTOBER 2011
Two newely added options being trialled for the first time with batch 18 - added October 2011

The first of the two new options is a 'battlewrap' ito configuration, available for an additional $10 (see pics below).

NEW OPTIONAL EXTRA: Battlewrap Ito

And the other option is a black leather ito wrap for $25 (available in black ONLY).

NEW OPTIONAL EXTRA: Black Leather Ito

These options are not necessary to create a fantastic personalized design, but after so many requests for them they are worth adding just in case one of these elements is the missing touch your personalized sword requires. Simply make your selection at the top of the page as normal, order the basic sword, and then pick and choose any extras like a smorgasbord before submitting your final order.

Have fun - and if there are any questions feel free to drop me a line!
