Product Details

The blade on this ninjato is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep black coat, with a flame-pattern hamon running along the edge that reveals a lighter temper line beneath the dark surface. The straight ninjato profile - characteristic of the ninja-style short sword form - keeps the geometry clean and purposeful. At 34 inches overall and 3 lbs, the sword carries noticeable weight in hand without feeling unwieldy on a display mount. This piece sits naturally among Black Ninja Sword builds that prioritize bold visual presentation alongside solid construction.

The tsuka is wrapped in black PU samegawa as the base layer, then finished with black leather ito in a traditional diamond-pattern braid. The wrapping is firm and even, with black menuki hardware tucked under the binding at the grip midpoint. Black fuchi and kashira caps complete the handle, keeping the entire hilt assembly in a unified dark tone.

A gold-tone alloy tsuba provides the one point of metallic contrast on the upper assembly. The rectangular guard sits flush against the habaki with no rattle, and its plain-profile design keeps the focus on the blade-to-handle transition rather than competing with the saya's more elaborate artwork.

The saya is built from hardwood with a high-quality lacquer finish in matte black. The standout element is a vivid blue dragon graphic printed across the lower section of the scabbard - bold in color and detailed in line work, it reads clearly against the black ground and gives this piece its most distinctive visual identity. The Blackwood Saya Ninjato category covers several builds sharing this hardwood lacquer construction, though the blue dragon artwork is specific to this configuration.

At 34 inches total length and 3 lbs, this ninjato replica is sized and weighted for wall mounting or shelf display. The full koshirae fittings - matching black hardware throughout, gold tsuba accent, and blue dragon saya - make it a strong standalone piece for collectors focused on ninja-style sword aesthetics. A sword stand or holder is not included.
