Product Details
The blade on this ninjato is forged from manganese steel and ground to a straight single-edge profile with a chrome-toned finish. The surface carries visible hand-worked texture along the flat, giving it a layered, forged appearance rather than a plain polished look. Running full tang through the handle, the blade construction keeps the entire 44-inch assembly solidly connected from tip to pommel.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cord with a tight, evenly spaced ribbed pattern - no ray skin visible beneath, just clean overlapping cord work in all black. At the base of the handle sits a lion-themed alloy tsuba finished in matte black, with a detailed relief carving of a lion face rendered with enough depth to catch light at different angles. The pommel repeats the lion motif on a smaller circular cap, tying the handle assembly together visually.
One of the most distinctive elements is the manga-art panel on the saya. Printed or painted on a cream-toned section of the lacquered black hardwood scabbard, it depicts a dramatic ink-style figure - long hair, expressive linework, and a face rendered in high-contrast brushwork. The contrast between the black lacquer body and the illustrated panel gives this piece a strong visual identity that separates it from standard monochrome ninjato designs.

The hardwood saya is finished in a natural lacquer coat that reads as flat black with subtle surface variation - not high-gloss, giving it a more matte, refined feel. The sageo cord is black, matching the overall color scheme. A small notch is cut into the kurigata area of the saya, visible in the product photos.
Overall length is 44 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lb. The package dimensions are 46 x 4 x 4 inches. Total weight of the sword is 3 lb. If you are considering a similarly sized option, the 40.5 Inches Ninjato collection offers close alternatives worth comparing. Sword stand is not included.
