Manganese Steel Ninjato with Black Lacquer Saya - Demon Tsuba, Leather Handle

The blade on this ninjato is forged from manganese steel and finished to a bright chrome polish, running the full length of the tang for a solid, one-piece construction. The straight profile terminates in a squared chisel tip - a defining characteristic of the ninjato form - and the surface carries a clean, refined edge brought to finish by hand. Each blade is individually worked, so minor variations in surface character are inherent to the handcrafted process.

The tsuka is wrapped in black leather using a tightly wound spiral pattern that provides a secure, textured grip. A cast black alloy kashira caps the pommel end, and the fuchi collar transitions cleanly into the guard with no visible gaps in the fit.

The tsuba is cast from black alloy in a demon-relief design - a sculptural oval guard depicting a detailed demonic face surrounded by swirling decorative elements. The all-black metal finish ties the guard visually to the rest of the koshirae without any contrasting metalwork. Collectors interested in other demon-themed pieces can browse the Black Manganese Steel Ninjato collection for additional options in this style.

The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished with a black lacquer coat that produces a smooth, low-sheen surface. The standout detail is the painted decorative panel wrapped around the mid-section of the saya, featuring a dramatic monochrome-and-red demon figure illustration with Japanese characters. The panel is backed in white and provides a strong visual break against the matte black lacquer. A black sageo cord completes the mounting.

At 46 inches overall and 4 lbs, this ninjato delivers genuine physical presence as a Black Leather Handle Ninjato collectible. Packaged in a 48 x 4 x 4 inch box at 5 lbs shipping weight. Sword stand not included. Each piece is individually handmade and specifications may vary slightly.
