The wakazashi was commonly used for decapitations once the enemy was mortally wounded, therefore giving the enemy an honorable death. It was also used in a style called Daito Ryu for the finishing blow, be it to the heart or across the back of the neck, slicing the spinal cord.
Seppuku, the ritual suicide, was done using a special wakazahi, usually your family's' or your lords'. The process was to have it cleaned in purified water, then drawn sharp edge out to until the point met your navel, at which point you held it straight into your body, and proceeded to either impale yourself or eviscerate yourself. If you were to die with great honor, then you would then be decapitated by a purified katana, usually the decapitation done by your father or your lord.

I didn't thank you, I merely made an observation. But if it helps you believe so be it. Perhaps we need a "Member Info" forum........
