T10 Carbon Steel Ninjato with Real Hamon in Dark Blue Lacquer Saya - Phoenix Tsuba

The blade on this ninjato is forged from T10 carbon steel and finished with a hand-polished surface that brings out a visible hamon line along the edge. That temperline is produced through a controlled heat-treatment process that differentiates the hardened cutting edge from the more flexible spine - a defining characteristic of traditionally styled Japanese sword construction. The chrome finish on the nagasa catches light cleanly, making the hamon pattern easy to read at any angle.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over a red samegawa ray-skin base, following a classic koshirae diamond-pattern that provides texture and grip. The combination of black outer wrap with the red underlayer visible at each opening creates a bold, high-contrast look that complements the overall color scheme of the sword.

The silver-tone phoenix tsuba is cast in alloy with open-work relief, showing detailed feather and wing structure across its surface. The phoenix theme carries strong symbolic resonance in Japanese aesthetics, representing renewal and perseverance. A brass-tone habaki collar seats the blade firmly at the guard, adding a warm metallic transition between tsuba and saya mouth.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in a deep dark blue natural lacquer that gives it a rich, near-midnight gloss. A brown braided sageo cord with amber-toned bead detailing wraps the scabbard in traditional style - the cord color ties back to the warm tones of the tsuba and habaki, keeping the palette cohesive. Collectors looking for more options in this finish family can explore the Dark Blue Scabbard Ninjato collection.

At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, this ninjato delivers a substantial presence for wall display or collection. For those interested in heat-treated blades in the ninjato format, the Clay Tempered Ninja Sword collection offers additional selections. Sword stand not included.
