The Japanese Wakizashi sword was an auxiliary sword used by the Samurai and worn along side with the Katana, wearing them together is a sign that the person is a Samurai, called Daisho. The Samurai Wakizashi is a backup sword, a great balanced sword that can be wielded either with one or two hands, also can be used in a tight place if a Samurai lost his Katana in the battle.
