I found this wakizashi at a flea market in Arkansas.  The handle was a little loose and had Chinese motifs on it.
I cut the handle and tsuba off with an angle grinder and found this to be all the tang that I had to work with.

I used some of the extra magnolia from my previous katana handle build and cut it down with a draw knife.

I made a spacer out of black kydex plastic and wrapped the handle in white athletic tape.
