Product Details

The blade on this ninjato is forged from manganese steel and heat-treated with oil quenching, producing a full tang construction that runs the entire length from tip to handle. A real hamon line traces the edge, standing out against the precision-finished black surface of the blade. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the proportions follow the straight, elongated profile classic to ninjato geometry. For collectors interested in how blade finishing affects visual presentation, our Black Ninja Sword collection brings together similar dark-blade pieces.

The tsuka is built with black cord wrapping over a PU black samegawa base. The diamond-pattern ito winds tightly and evenly, giving the handle both a clean traditional look and a reliable grip surface. Menuki accents are set at the standard positions beneath the wrap, adding subtle dimension without disrupting the overall black-on-black handle aesthetic.

The tsuba is a gold-tone alloy piece cast in a chrysanthemum theme, with layered petal relief that catches light from multiple angles. A matching brass-finish habaki seats the blade cleanly at the collar, tying the gold hardware together across the koshirae. The seppa washers on either side of the tsuba ensure a snug fit with minimal play.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a gloss black lacquer finish. Along the upper half of the scabbard, white vine engraving stands out in sharp relief against the black ground - a design detail visible clearly in the product imagery. A black-and-white braided sageo is knotted at the kurikata, providing a strong two-tone accent that contrasts the otherwise monochrome saya. Collectors looking for more options in this style can explore the Blackwood Scabbard Ninjato collection.

Overall dimensions: 41 inches in length, 3 lbs in weight, shipping at 4 lbs in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package. The sword stand is not included. This piece is designed as a koshirae-style collectible replica suited for display.
