1095 Carbon Steel Straight Ninjato with Black Blade & White Ito - Piano Lacquer Saya

The blade is ground from 1095 carbon steel and given a full black finish that sets off the hand-finished hamon running along the cutting edge. That wavy temper line - bright against the dark steel - is the defining visual detail of this ninjato, visible clearly in the close-up shots and consistent across the length of the straight, chisel-tipped profile.

The tsuka is built on a full-tang core, ensuring the steel extends from tip to pommel without interruption. White PU samegawa provides the base wrap layer, and white ito cord is wound in the traditional diamond pattern over it, producing the characteristic raised lozenges seen along the grip. Gold menuki accents are seated beneath the ito at intervals, adding small points of warmth against the white.

The gold-tone alloy tsuba is square in profile with rounded corners and carries a geometric floral design in moderate relief. It sits cleanly at the junction between the white tsuka and the saya mouth, and the color contrast - gold hardware against white cord and black lacquer - is what gives this piece its signature look.

The saya is hardwood finished in piano lacquer, producing the deep, reflective black surface shown in the main image. A braided sageo in black-and-white is tied at the kurigata, its two-tone twist picking up both the blade color and the handle wrap. If you prefer a similar aesthetic in a different colorway, the Red-black Ninjato collection offers complementary options.

Overall length is 41 inches and shipping weight is 4 lb (packaged dimensions 43 x 4 x 4 inches). This is a straight-blade ninjato replica - not a curved katana - designed for collectors and cosplay enthusiasts who want a full-tang, visually complete piece with authentic koshirae fittings. Sword stand is not included.
