The Cheness "Tsukikage" Wakizashi Moon
Shadow is a broad katana made especially for exercises
cutting goza or tatami omote mats , and is the result
of over half a year in development.
Detailed Description
Cheness SGC Series (Specialized
Goza Cutters)
These specialized blades were built based upon
a custom designed sword created expressly for dojo cutting
exercises. After more than half a year in planning and
preparation, we have finally completed our SGC series
for production... effectively bringing down the price
of this sword from a $5,000 to $7,000 custom built range
down to less than 1/10th of that cost.
These swords are broader and thinner than a standard
katana. With a weight distribution optimized for cutting
exercises. The entry angle of the cutting edge is effectively
minimized by the geometry and is only made feasible with
the Cheness Spring Steel, which aids in maintaining the
edge durability.

The Tsukikage Wakizashi
shares the same blade as our Yamakami Wakizashi.
Both swords uses the Cheness SGC blade design and is especially
made for goza (tatami omote) cutting exercises.
Due to the nature of the geometry, the blade
exhibits a hint of a pattern of how the quench affected
different parts of the blade differently than the normal
wakizashi even though this is a through hardened blade.
The Tsukikage uses a black cotton ito wrapping
with a blackened steel tsuba and an image of rabbits under
a crescent moon. The steel used on this blade is the through
hardened version of the Cheness 9260 Spring Steel.
The handle of this blade
is slightly bigger than that of a standard wakizashi.
This is to compensate for the broader blade and
nakago within the handle.
The purpose of changing the blade cross-section
geometry in making the SGC is to significantly reduce
the entry angle of the cutting edge without reducing weight
or lateral strength of the blade.
