Product Details

The blade on this ninjato is forged from folded Damascus steel, producing the layered pattern that runs across the dark red surface. A visible hamon line traces the edge, and dragon engraving is worked into the flat of the blade, adding a second layer of detail to the already distinctive Damascus surface. The hand-finished edge and full-tang construction are consistent throughout, with the tang running the full length of the handle assembly.

The handle is wrapped in a smooth red hardwood grip, unbraided in the traditional sense but fitted with antiqued bronze alloy collar and pommel hardware. The pommel cap carries a small circular medallion motif. Bronze fitting tone is consistent across all metal components, giving the koshirae a unified antique character against the deep red of the grip material.

The guard is a bronze alloy tsuba in a wing or crescent form with upswept quillons - visible clearly in the detail shots. The guard sits between a cream-colored seppa and the base of the red handle, creating a strong color contrast at the transition point. The bronze finish on the tsuba matches the chape and collar throughout the piece.

The scabbard is hardwood finished in a high-gloss black lacquer, smooth and deep in tone. Bronze fittings at the throat and chape feature engraved scrollwork that mirrors the antique aesthetic of the rest of the koshirae. A brown cord is looped and knotted at the kurikata, finishing with a wrapped tassel that hangs naturally. For more ninjato built in this style, see our Damascus Steel Ninja Sword collection.

Overall length is 43 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs. The package dimensions are 45 x 4 x 4 inches. This piece is part of the Red Pattern Steel Ninjato lineup, and is suited for display, cosplay, or collection alongside other koshirae-style Chinese and Japanese swords. Sword stand is not included.

  • Forged from folded Damascus steel, the dark red patterned blade features a visible hamon line and dragon engraving along the flat, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind surface texture.
  • Full-tang construction runs the entire length of the red hardwood handle, secured with bronze alloy fittings at the collar and pommel for structural integrity across the assembly.
  • The black lacquered hardwood scabbard is fitted with antiqued bronze chape and throat mounts, complemented by a brown cord tassel tied at the kurikata for a classic koshirae presentation.
  • Overall length 43 inches, shipping weight 4 lbs - sized for wall display or cosplay use, with a hand-finished edge and balanced profile suited to both collectors and enthusiasts.
  • Dragon engraving runs along the blade flat, pairing with the folded Damascus layering pattern to create visual depth that shifts under different lighting angles.
