Manganese Steel Ninjato with Serrated Spine, Black Cord Handle & Gold Tsuba - 41 in. Ninja Sword

The blade on this ninjato is forged from manganese steel and finished to a chrome polish that highlights the flat geometry of the straight single-edge design. The most visually distinctive feature is the serrated spine - a series of jagged cutouts running along the back edge of the blade that catch the light and give this piece an aggressive silhouette unlike a standard ninjato profile. The surface finish is clean and reflective, contrasting sharply against the all-black fittings.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord in a tight diamond pattern that covers the full grip length, providing a secure and visually clean handle. A gold-tone alloy tsuba sits at the base of the grip, its warm metallic engraved face standing as the single color contrast point in an otherwise monochromatic build. The full-tang blade runs through the handle for structural integrity throughout the piece.

At the blade-to-handle transition, engraved metal collar rings and a fitted habaki add refined layering to the construction. The detailing on these fittings includes scrollwork and relief carving consistent with the overall aesthetic - structured and intentional rather than plain.

The saya is built from hardwood with a lacquer finish and is covered in a raised dot-pattern texture across its entire length. This textured black wrapping mirrors the handle's cord pattern and gives the scabbard a grip-friendly surface. A black sageo cord completes the assembly. For collectors exploring this style, the Blackwood Scabbard Ninjato collection offers further options in this aesthetic direction.

Overall length is 41 inches with a total weight of 3 lbs. The piece ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package at a shipping weight of 4 lbs. If you're building out a ninjato-focused display, the Tiger Ninjato collection presents complementary pieces worth considering. Sword stand not included.
