1095 Carbon Steel Ninjato with Dark Red Blade & Dragon Engraving - Black Saya Chokuto Replica

The blade on this chokuto ninjato replica is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished in a deep dark red tone that immediately sets it apart on display. A hand-etched hamon line traces the length of the straight edge in white, catching the light against the dark metal. The flat of the blade carries a detailed dragon-and-tiger engraving rendered in black-and-white ink - a coiling dragon descending toward a crouching tiger, occupying the mid-section of the blade for dramatic visual impact.

The tsuka is constructed with a full-tang core and wrapped in black ito cord over a PU white samegawa base. The ito is tightly crossed in the traditional diamond pattern, creating a firm, consistent grip texture. Black fuchi and kashira fittings cap both ends of the handle, maintaining the all-black koshirae aesthetic without visual interruption.

At the guard, a red-black geometric iron tsuba brings a distinctly graphic element to the fitting. The stepped maze-pattern cutout - visible clearly in the product close-up - frames a textured copper-tone center piece, referencing traditional Japanese metalwork geometry while adding a collector-grade detail that reads well from any angle.

The saya is shaped from hardwood finished in black lacquer, smooth and solid along its length. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, with a small brass-tone accent visible at the fitting. The overall koshirae - black saya, black tsuka, dark red blade - creates a unified color story with the geometric tsuba and dragon engraving providing contrast.
