Product Details

The blade on this chokuto ninjato is forged from T10 carbon steel and ground to a straight single-edged profile, departing from the curved geometry of a traditional katana. A hand-finished hamon line runs along the nagasa, the result of differential heat treatment applied during the forging process. The chrome-finished blade surface catches light cleanly, making the hamon activity visible from multiple angles. For collectors interested in straight-bladed Japanese sword forms, this piece sits within our broader range of Marble T10 Carbon Steel Ninjato offerings.

The tsuka is built with white ito cotton cord wrapped over a white ray-skin samegawa base, forming a tightly executed diamond pattern along the full length of the handle. The contrast between the pale grip and the dark blade creates an immediate visual tension that defines the sword's character. Metal fittings along the handle are finished in a complementary tone consistent with the overall koshirae-style construction.

The tsuba is a cast alloy piece in a black-gold finish centered on a dragon motif. The dragon is rendered in relief detail against the black ground with gold accent tones visible at the collar - clearly shown in the product close-up. The round form and the weight of the guard provide a natural transition point between the grip and the blade.

The saya is black hardwood finished in lacquer, with engraving craft detail worked into the surface near the koiguchi area. A deep green braided sageo cord is tied at the kurigata in a layered traditional knot, adding a rich color contrast against the glossy black ground. The green tone of the sageo is also visible in the close-up detail and ties the piece together visually.

At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, this ninjato is a substantial piece suited for display or handling practice. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at a shipping weight of 4 lbs. Sword stand is not included. Collectors exploring this style can also browse the full Japanese Ninja Sword collection for related pieces.

Love these straight blade ninja swords, the hamon is awesome the blade is straight and beautiful . Black and gold look great and love the plastic on the handle and like the different habaki, the Saya was damaged during transport from overseas but very slight, this could be avoided by putting a box around the Styrofoam as they do for any (ready to ship)swords which I don't understand, and the suba moves slightly but don't care cause this thing is awesome and would like to chop stuff but don't want to mess it up so just going to show it off ,this site may be habit forming ...lol

This gorgeous blade arrived right on time.
The only drawbacks are...
A slight nick, on the spine near the Tsuba.
And the blade was not wrapped. So I oiled the blade straight away.
With the niggles over with.

The blade is gorgeous. As are the Tsuba, saya, sageo, tsuka, and cord wrap. Can never recall the Japanese term.
It looks tan in the picture. It's actually a beautiful gold cord.

The suprise is how light this one is. The blood gutters really put what little weight there is very close to your hand. Maybe 4 inches forward of the Tsuba.

This blade is so delightfully light I could duel wield a pair like Inosuke Hashibira! 👍

But of course I've already dinged up the saya.

Fantastic Ninjato.
Next will be one of the two white ones.
