Ninjato Straight Sword High Manganese Steel Full Tang with Warrior Engraving - Black-Red Handle

The blade is crafted from high manganese steel with a chrome-finished surface that reflects light cleanly across its straight, single-edge profile. Along the spine, a continuous embossed scale pattern runs from the base nearly to the tip - each facet catching light at a different angle to give the blade a textured, almost reptilian appearance when rotated. The geometry terminates in a chisel-style tanto tip, keeping the ninjato's square-shouldered silhouette intact.

About midway down the blade, a detailed warrior figure engraving is applied directly to the polished chrome surface. The imagery depicts a helmeted, armored figure rendered in high-contrast black ink - fine linework showing facial detail, layered armor plates, and a sense of motion. Against the bright steel background, the artwork stands out cleanly without needing color.

The handle is wrapped in black synthetic leather using a traditional diamond-pattern tsuka-maki technique. Beneath the wrap, a red samegawa base layer shows through each gap in the braid, creating a sharp black-red stripe effect along the full grip length. Black resin menuki accent pieces are seated under the wrap. The handle is capped at both ends with matching black fittings.

A plain black iron tsuba sits at the blade collar, shaped as a low-profile rectangle with two circular cutouts near the base. The minimal design keeps the transition between blade and handle clean, letting the chrome steel and engraved detail carry the visual weight. For those building a Ninja Sword collection, the straight-blade silhouette and full fittings set make this a distinctive addition.

Full tang construction runs through the handle assembly, maintaining solid balance at 2.65 lbs across a 39-inch overall length. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at 3 lbs shipping weight. This piece belongs to the Leather Manganese Steel Ninjato category - a specific segment of straight-blade replicas combining leather wrap with chrome steel presentation. No display stand is included.
