Manganese Steel Ninjato with Yellow Lacquered Saya - Samurai Art Engraved Scabbard, Black Handle

The blade on this ninjato is forged from manganese steel and finished to a high-polish chrome surface, giving it a clean mirror-like appearance along the flat. A hand-etched wave pattern runs the length of the blade in a braided diamond motif - sharp, geometric, and deeply cut into the steel. The 30-inch overall length keeps the profile sleek and well-proportioned, consistent with the ninjato form. Explore more options in our Japanese Ninja Sword collection.

The handle is wrapped in black PU samegawa base with a tightly wound black cord in a standard ito-maki pattern. The wrap is firm and even, with the diamond-shaped gaps exposing the underlayer at regular intervals. The tsuka is proportioned for a confident single or two-hand hold without feeling oversized.

The tsuba is circular and finished in black-gold, with an intricate geometric lattice cut into the face - a repeating square maze pattern that catches light from multiple angles. The gold inlay on the raised surfaces contrasts sharply against the black ground, giving the fitting a layered, textured look that holds up well on close inspection.

The saya is the most distinctive element of this piece. Lacquered in a bold yellow hardwood finish, it features hand-applied samurai figure artwork in sepia and dark brown tones - a helmeted warrior rendered in expressive brushwork along the lower section. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata and wraps the mouth of the saya, adding contrast and securing the aesthetic connection to the black tsuka. The overall yellow-and-black color scheme is bold and cohesive.

At 30 inches overall and 2.5 lbs, this ninjato replica is sized for display use and ships in a 32 x 4 x 4 inch package at 3.5 lbs. No stand is included. The combination of the engraved blade, samurai saya art, and geometric tsuba makes it a strong addition to any Japanese sword collection.
