Hanwei Zatoichi Sword Black SH1014

The Hanwei Zatoichi Sword Black brings to life the legendary sword of the blind swordsman in a clean, stealthy package designed for both collectors and martial artists. Inspired by the iconic weapon carried by the character Zatoichi—a humble cane concealing a deadly blade—this sword pairs historical aesthetics with functional craftsmanship. It's a faithful tribute to the spirit of quiet strength and precision.

The 28.5-inch blade is forged from high-quality carbon steel and finished with a rugged, forged texture that speaks to its hand-forged construction. Tough, sharp, and durable, the blade is made for real-world use, not just display. The simple design is deceptive—beneath the unassuming appearance lies a battle-ready edge capable of swift, clean cuts. With a full tang construction, the sword delivers stability and control with every draw and strike.

The handle is smooth black wood, offering a subtle grip that stays true to the sword's disguised nature. There’s no traditional tsuka or tsuba here—just clean lines and a minimalist form that mimics a walking stick. A brass collar near the blade adds a refined touch while reinforcing the structure. It’s a design rooted in deception and efficiency, ideal for martial artists who appreciate the symbolism and strategy behind such weapons.

At 39.5 inches overall, the Zatoichi Sword balances sleek handling with effective reach. It comes housed in a black wooden scabbard that continues the cane sword illusion, along with a fabric sword bag for storage or transport. The overall design is about discipline, simplicity, and focused purpose—just like the character who inspired it.

Whether you're a fan of Japanese cinema, a practitioner of kenjutsu, or a collector looking for a unique piece with a story, the Hanwei Zatoichi Sword Black delivers elegance, functionality, and history in one streamlined package. Order it today from SMKW!
