Manganese Steel Chokuto Ninjato with Blue Etched Blade and Dragon Tsuba in Black Saya

The blade of this chokuto ninjato is forged from manganese steel and treated to produce a deep blue finish along the flat, with white geometric etch patterns cascading from the spine to the edge. The straight-edged profile follows the traditional ninjato silhouette, and the precision-finished edge is hand-sharpened for a refined result. At 44 inches overall and 4 lbs in weight, the sword carries real heft.

The handle is built on a full tang core wrapped in black PU samegawa, then bound with black leather ito in a tight diamond pattern. A pair of small gold menuki sit beneath the cord, adding a subtle warm contrast to the otherwise monochrome grip. The kashira at the pommel end features a sculpted dragon head in aged silver-tone alloy, giving the handle a defined visual anchor.

An open-worked alloy tsuba continues the dragon theme, with flowing curves and cloud-like cutouts framing a central dragon figure. The silver-tone finish matches the kashira, creating a unified look across the fittings. This guardless-style mounting omits a traditional round tsuba in favor of the compact alloy piece that sits flush against the blade collar.

The saya is carved from hardwood and coated in a glossy black natural lacquer. A circular kanji emblem is inlaid on the upper section of the scabbard, echoing the etched motifs on the blade. The koiguchi mouth fits snugly around the habaki, and the overall finish is smooth and reflective. For similar styles, browse the Blue Blade Manganese Steel Ninjato collection.

Each piece is individually handcrafted by experienced swordsmiths using traditional techniques, so slight variations in pattern alignment and finish tone are expected from sword to sword. The blue etching and dragon-motif fittings make this chokuto a standout among straight-blade replicas. Explore more options in the Ninja Katana Sword collection.
