Hyperion Wakizashi

Introduction:

Katanas living their renesance through out cyberpunk universes. There is a harmonious beauty when an ancient concept crosses lines with advanced technology. Since we first created our initial two vibro blade style katanas for a custom order in 2021, we are excited to introduce new versions to a wider audience. That’s why we have created the Hyperion Tachi Blade and the Hyperion Wakizashi Blade.

When designing new props, we always strive to create a lore or backstory to add realism and borrow a look of an actual functioning object. While thermal katanas are a forward-thinking evolution of traditional katanas, we have taken it a step further. The fundamental principle behind a vibro blade is the presence of a resonator module affixed to the blade itself. The purpose of this unit is to make the blade resonate at an ultra-high frequency, having the capability to penetrate almost any material, in the known physical universe.

Materials and parts:

The material of the blade is a high-grade magnesium alloy. As the very first step of the manufacturing, the shape of the sword was precision CNC milled from a single block of metal. Following the cutting process, the serial number is engraved. Since an ordinary paint job would not have met our expectations, to provide an ultra-fine, matte surface we used the combination of two methods: sand blasting and eloxation. The final step at the metal works was the CNC mill of the raw metallic edges. The parts of the handle, the heat block and the vibration module were precision 3D printed. After that, each part was individually sanded and painted before being assembled with the blade. As one of the final steps we have added our weathering techniques, tear marks and details.

Size:

The sword itself is a 1:1, true to size of a long-tachi style katana blade.
– the sword from tip to end is 621 mm / 24,44 inch long

The package includes:

– Hyperion Wakizashi
– A stylish, 3D printed stand
– 100% pure awesomeness

The weapon case which can be seen under the blade is not included!

Please note that all of our products are unique creations, designed, handcrafted, and hand-painted by our skilled European artisans, therefore between two pieces slight differences may occur. The blade itself is a collectors piece.
