Product Details

The blade on this chokuto-style ninjato is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel and finished with a deep blue coloration that runs the length of the straight, single-edged nagasa. A genuine hamon line is present along the edge, the result of the differential heat-treatment process applied during forging. The edge itself is precision-ground and hand-finished, with the characteristic tanto-style tip geometry of a chokuto profile giving the blade a clean, angular point.

The full-tang construction means the steel extends completely through the tsuka without interruption - a structural detail that matters for balance and long-term integrity. At 41 inches overall and 3 lb, the sword sits at a practical weight for extended display or handling without feeling unwieldy.

The tsuka is wrapped in black ito cord using a traditional diamond-pattern over PU black samegawa. The grip provides a secure, layered texture that fills the hand consistently from collar to pommel. All fittings - fuchi, kashira, and menuki - are finished in black to keep the handle assembly visually unified.

The tsuba is a plain black iron guard with a square profile that suits the straight-bladed chokuto form. No ornamental cutouts or engraving - the simplicity here is deliberate, keeping focus on the blade and the saya rather than competing with either.

The saya is the visual centerpiece of the koshirae. Carved from hardwood and finished in a premium natural lacquer, the scabbard is painted in a deep amber-gold over black base, with a dense floral motif covering the full length of the saya body. The relief pattern - rendered in gold tones - depicts stylized flowers and leaves, making each saya a unique piece. A black sageo cord is secured at the kurigata. Also available in the 40.5 Inches Ninjato collection for additional length-matched options. Note: sword stand is not included.

  • Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, the blue-finished straight blade features a visible hamon line and a precision-ground edge that reflects traditional Japanese sword-making standards.
  • Full-tang construction runs the steel continuously through the handle, ensuring solid balance across the sword's 41-inch overall length at a manageable 3 lb carry weight.
  • The black tsuka is wrapped in black ito over PU black samegawa, with a plain black iron tsuba providing a clean, unadorned transition between blade and handle.
  • Hardwood saya is finished in a deep gold-and-black lacquer with an all-over floral motif - hand-applied relief detailing makes every scabbard visually distinct.
  • Black sageo cord is attached to the saya, allowing traditional carry options while reinforcing the all-black and gold color palette of the complete koshirae set.
