Product Details

The blade on this ninjato is ground from 1060 carbon steel and heat-treated to 58 HRC, delivering a consistent straight-profile chokuto silhouette with a polished chrome finish. At 27.5 inches, the nagasa is proportioned for the clean, aggressive lines the ninjato form is known for. The hand-finished edge runs the full length of the blade, which tapers to a defined point visible in the detail shots. A full-tang construction ties the blade directly through the handle core, keeping the assembly solid across its 39.37-inch overall length.

The tsuka measures 10.2 inches and is built over a real rayskin (same-gawa) base in white, wrapped tightly in red ito cord using a traditional diamond-pattern hishimaki technique. Silver menuki ornaments are secured beneath the ito wrap at regular intervals, adding a layered visual texture to the grip. Two bamboo mekugi pegs lock the tsuka to the nakago, a construction detail that allows the handle to be removed for maintenance without tools.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in a square-rounded profile and finished in a silver-and-gold two-tone combination. The centerpiece is a detailed tiger figure rendered in gold relief against the silver ground - a motif that carries strong visual weight and gives the sword an identity distinct from plainer guard designs. The fuchi and kashira fittings echo the same alloy finish, tying the hardware together as a coherent set. Explore more options in our Red Ninja Sword collection.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a matte black lacquer that reads as a deep, even surface with no gloss. At 29.17 inches it sheathes the blade fully with a close fit. A red sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, creating a deliberate color contrast against the black saya that mirrors the red ito on the handle. The overall red-and-black palette is consistent across every component, giving this piece a unified, intentional aesthetic.
