Product Details
The blade of this ninjato is forged from folded damascus steel, hand-polished and heat-treated to 60 HRC. The straight 27.55-inch nagasa carries a visible hamon line along its length and a hand-engraved dragon motif on the flat, with the steel's layered grain producing a deep dark red surface tone that sets it apart from conventional finishes.
The 10.2-inch tsuka is built over a genuine rayskin (samegawa) base in white, then wrapped in red cotton cord ito in a traditional diagonal pattern. Dual bamboo mekugi pins pass through the nakago to anchor the handle firmly, ensuring the full-tang construction holds under handling and display conditions alike.
A silver-gold alloy tsuba in an octagonal form carries ornate scroll relief engraving across its face, with gold-tone floral menuki accents visible along the tsuka. The fuchi and kashira fittings match the tsuba's silver-gold palette, tying the handle assembly to the guard in a coherent koshirae-style presentation.
The dark red hardwood saya is finished in a high-gloss piano lacquer coat and decorated with a delicate gold vine motif that runs the full 29.17-inch length. A dark red and white braided sageo cord with gold thread accents wraps the saya mouth, adding textural contrast to the glossy lacquer surface.
