Damascus Steel Ninjato with Dark Red Blade, Black Ornate Scroll Tsuba & Blue Cherry Blossom Saya

The blade on this ninjato is forged from Damascus steel, producing the layered grain pattern visible along the dark red surface. A hand-engraved dragon runs the length of the flat, and a hamon line traces the edge profile - both details are visible in the close-up imagery and consistent with the koshirae-style presentation this piece is built around. The straight ninjato geometry keeps the tip geometry clean and direct, making it a visually strong centerpiece for any display.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord ito over white same (ray skin), with the diamond-pattern spacing you can see clearly in the product images. The contrast between the white menuki accents and black ito wrapping is sharp and intentional - this is not a generic wrap job. Fuchi and kashira fittings are matched in black to maintain a consistent hardware tone from pommel to guard.

The tsuba is cast from black alloy in an ornate scroll pattern with open cut-through sections throughout the disc. The ivory-toned seppa on either side of the guard provides a clean visual break between the dark tsuka and the dark tsuba, a detail that reads especially well when the sword is displayed horizontally. For collectors interested in Cool Ninja Sword styles, the combination of scroll tsuba and straight blade profile is a defining aesthetic of the ninjato form.

The saya is finished in blue hardwood lacquer with a cherry blossom scatter pattern across the full length - light blue-grey blossoms on a darker blue ground, giving the scabbard a textured, almost marbled visual quality that photographs distinctively. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata, completing the koshirae assembly with traditional cord management intact.

Overall length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs. Package dimensions are 43 x 4 x 4 inches. The sword stand or holder is not included. Weight comes in at 3 lbs for the sword itself - appropriate for the display and collection context this ninjato is designed for.
