Damascus Steel Ninjato with Dark Red Blade - Black-Red Tsuka, Silver Lion Tsuba, Red Lacquered Saya

The blade on this ninjato is forged from Damascus steel and finished in a deep, dark red tone that catches light with a warm, almost burgundy glow. The folded layered steel construction gives the surface a subtle patterned texture running along its length, distinguishing it visually from standard single-steel finishes. The full-tang build extends the steel core through the entire handle, giving the piece solid structural balance from tip to pommel.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over a red PU samegawa base, arranged in the traditional diamond-gap pattern that exposes flashes of red beneath each crossover. The result is a clean black-and-red contrast that carries through the entire handle length. Alloy fittings at the habaki and fuchi reinforce the connection points between blade and handle.

The silver-toned alloy tsuba is the visual centerpiece of this piece - a circular guard featuring a sculpted lion motif in detailed relief. The silver finish against the dark red blade and black handle creates a three-tone contrast that anchors the koshirae aesthetic. This style of decorative tsuba is a defining feature across our Damascus Ninja Sword collection.

The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a high-gloss red lacquer that mirrors the blade's color palette. A red-and-black sageo cord is tied around the upper saya in a traditional binding style, accented with a small red bead at the knot. The cord ends are finished with red tassels, adding detail to the presentation. If you're exploring similar aesthetics, the Red Damascus Steel Ninjato collection offers related options.

The complete koshirae includes the lacquered hardwood saya, lion tsuba, cord-wrapped tsuka, and alloy fittings - presented as a full-size ninjato replica for collectors and display enthusiasts. Sword stand is not included.
