Damascus Steel Chokuto Ninjato with Gold Hardwood Saya - Black Tsuka, Bronze Tsuba

The blade on this chokuto ninjato is forged from damascus steel, revealing a flowing folded pattern across the flat that becomes especially vivid near the visible hamon line. The straight single-edged profile follows the classical chokuto geometry - no curvature, clean tip, and a chrome-polished surface that catches light sharply along the edge bevel. At 41 inches overall, the blade carries genuine presence without exaggeration. If you're exploring Damascus Steel Ninjato options, the layer definition on this piece stands out in its category.

The tsuka is built over a full tang core, wrapped in black faux-samegawa with a pronounced textured grain, then laced with black cord ito in the traditional diagonal diamond pattern. The kashira at the pommel end is gold-tone, matching the overall warm metallic palette. The grip sits comfortably in hand and holds its wrap tension without looseness.

A plain round tsuba in gold tone sits flush at the habaki transition point. Its simple disc form keeps the aesthetic clean and uncluttered - no relief carving or cutout motifs to distract from the blade and saya. The fuchi collar below mirrors the same gold finish, creating visual continuity across all fittings. For collectors focused on Copper Tsuba Ninjato variants, this piece fits naturally within that warm-metal hardware family.

The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in a brushed gold tone - closer to antique brass in person than bright gold, with a matte sheen that avoids looking cheap. A brown-and-white braided sageo cord is tied at the koiguchi with a decorative knot, providing both a practical retention element and a rich visual contrast against the gold saya body. The kojiri end cap carries the same gold-tone metal as the rest of the fittings.

Total length is 41 inches, weight is 5 lbs, and the package ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at 6 lbs. The sword stand is not included. This is a koshirae-style collectible replica intended for display and collection - the combination of damascus patterning, gold lacquer saya, and coordinated brown-white sageo makes it a visually cohesive piece that photographs exceptionally well on a horizontal mount.
