Manganese Steel Ninjato with Black Lacquer Saya and Blue Dragon Engraving - Gold Tsuba

The blade on this ninjato replica is forged from manganese steel and finished to a polished chrome surface that catches light cleanly along its length. A hand-engraved blue dragon motif runs across the flat of the blade, rendered in sharp detail against the bright steel - making it one of the most visually distinctive features of this piece. The full-tang construction runs the steel continuously through the handle, giving the sword structural integrity befitting a serious collectible. At 42 inches overall and 3.2 lbs, it carries well whether mounted on a stand or held for inspection.

The tsuka is built with a red PU samegawa base layer, giving the handle a scaled texture before the wrapping begins. Black cord is then wound over in a traditional diamond pattern, with red underlayer visible through the gaps - a black-red combination that reads as both bold and refined. Gold-tone alloy fuchi and kashira fittings cap each end of the handle, engraved with a repeating floral motif that ties the hardware together.

The gold alloy tsuba carries an embossed chrysanthemum design - a classic motif in Japanese sword furniture, here rendered with enough relief detail to reward close inspection. The chrysanthemum pattern sits cleanly between the blade and handle, its warm gold tone contrasting against the black cord wrapping. This is part of our Gold Tsuba Ninjato line, where the fittings are selected to make a statement rather than disappear into the overall silhouette.

The black hardwood saya is finished in a premium natural lacquer that produces a deep, glass-smooth surface. A vivid blue dragon graphic is printed across the lower half of the scabbard, bold enough to be visible from across a room. The lacquer finish protects the wood and gives the saya a polished, high-contrast look that pairs well with the chrome blade when drawn. If you're exploring options in this category, our Blackwood Saya Ninjato collection brings together similar pieces with the same lacquered hardwood construction.

This ninjato measures 42 inches in total length and weighs 3.2 lbs. The koshirae-style fittings, blue dragon engraving, and gold chrysanthemum tsuba make it a standout collectible replica suited for display in any Japanese sword or anime-themed collection. A sword stand is not included.
