Manganese Steel Ninjato with Leopard Print Saya - Chokuto Straight Blade, Black & White Ito

The blade on this ninjato is forged from manganese steel and ground to a straight chokuto profile - no traditional curve, just clean linear geometry that defines the ninjato form. The chrome-finished surface reflects light evenly along its length, and the hand-finished edge runs the full tang through the handle for consistent construction. If you're exploring Sharpened Ninjato options with a distinct silhouette, the chokuto geometry here is a genuine visual departure from standard curved katana.

The tsuka is built over a full-tang foundation, with the handle wrapped in black-and-white alternating ito over a white faux-samegawa base. The contrasting stripe pattern reads clearly from a distance and echoes the black-and-white color story carried through the rest of the piece.

The black iron tsuba carries an ornate scroll cutout design - open negative space framed by curved ironwork. A gold-tone seppa sits between tsuba and tsuka, adding a warm metallic note that breaks the monochrome palette without overwhelming it.

The saya is hardwood lacquered in a leopard-print finish: white ground scattered with irregular black spots across the full length of the scabbard. A black sageo is knotted at the kurigata, reinforcing the black-and-white contrast that ties the entire koshirae together.
