Manganese Steel Ninjato with Blue Lightning Blade, Dragon Tsuba & Marble Saya - Gray Tsuka

The blade on this ninjato is manganese steel finished in deep blue, with lightning bolt engravings etched along its length from base to tip. The straight, single-edged profile is characteristic of ninjato form, and a hamon line runs the edge to add a second layer of visual detail against the dark steel. At 41 inches overall and 3 pounds, the proportions feel substantial in hand without being cumbersome - a solid display piece with presence.

The tsuka is wrapped in gray ito over a black PU samegawa base, with the characteristic diamond pattern formed by the crossing cord. The full-tang construction means the steel runs the complete length of the handle, giving the grip a consistent, planted feel. The gray wrapping pairs cleanly with the blue blade, keeping the color palette cohesive across the full length of the sword.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a copper tsuba finished in a gold-black combination. The circular guard features a raised dragon relief in detailed openwork casting, with additional decorative fuchi below in matching gold tone. The dragon theme is rendered with enough detail to read clearly at close range - coiled form, scaled texture, and expressive silhouette. This fitting style falls within traditional koshirae construction.

The saya is hardwood lacquered in dark blue with a hand-applied cloud pattern in white and lighter blue tones across the surface - referred to in the product data as a marble or cloud theme. The effect reads as an ink-wash or tie-dye texture under light, giving the scabbard its own visual identity. A gray sageo cord is tied at the kurigata in a traditional knot, matching the tsuka ito color. If you're exploring similar options, the Blue Saya Ninjato collection includes additional variations on this finish.

Overall length is 41 inches, weight is 3 pounds, and the piece ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package at 4 pounds. No sword stand is included.
