Full Tang Ninjato with Blue Manganese Steel Blade, Black Iron Tsuba & Lacquered Wood Saya

The blade on this ninjato is where it immediately sets itself apart. Forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep blue tone, it carries a wave-pattern hamon running along the edge - a visual detail that divides the polished silver edge line from the darker blue body of the blade. The result is a two-zone finish that shifts with the light, making the 31-inch overall length feel dynamic from every angle. This is a precision-finished, full tang blade built for collectors who care about how a piece looks as much as how it holds together.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord tsuka-ito over white PU samegawa, wound in a clean diamond pattern with white panels visible between each crossing. The full tang runs the complete length of the handle, keeping the assembly tight and the balance point consistent. It is the same construction approach used on higher-end koshirae builds, applied here with attention to wrap tension and symmetry.

At the blade collar, a gold-toned habaki provides a clean transition into the tsuba. The tsuba itself is iron, finished in black, and features an ornate scroll cutout design - open metalwork with curved internal geometry that creates layered shadow detail. It is a visually active guard that complements the blue blade without competing with it. Browse more options in the Iron Tsuba Ninjato collection if this style interests you.

The saya is lacquered hardwood in gloss black, with a textured surface grain visible under direct light. A black sageo cord is fitted through the kurikata, secured with the traditional knot style. The overall presentation is monochromatic except for the blade - black saya, black tsuba, black sageo, black tsuka-ito - which keeps the blue blade as the clear focal point of the piece.

This ninjato ships in a 33 x 4 x 4 inch package at 4 lbs shipping weight. The sword stand is not included. If you are drawn to the blue blade format across different ninjato styles, the Blue Ninja Sword collection offers additional configurations worth comparing.
