Product Details

The blade on this ninjato is forged from full-tang 1060 carbon steel and finished in a deep blue tone that shifts toward bright silver along the edge bevel. At 42.5 inches overall with a 1.37-inch width and 0.314-inch spine, the geometry is long and angular - distinctly ninjato in profile. The hand-finished blue surface gives the steel a clean, almost lacquered appearance that holds up well under display lighting.

The silver alloy tsuka is cast with engraved dragon detailing across the full grip surface, then secured with dark blue sageo cord at the kashira collar. There is no ito wrap - the sculpted alloy handle stands on its own as a design element, with the silver tone providing sharp contrast against the blue blade and dark saya.

The silver alloy tsuba is the centerpiece of the koshirae. Cast in an irregular, asymmetrical shape with deep dragon scroll relief on both faces, it reads almost sculptural rather than flat - the coiled dragon forms project outward and catch light at multiple angles. If you are browsing the Blue Dragon Ninjato category, this tsuba design is one of the more detailed examples in the lineup.

The dark blue hardwood lacquer saya carries embossed dragon motifs from throat to tip, with silver-tone koiguchi and kojiri hardware that mirrors the tsuka fittings. The lacquer surface has a matte-to-satin finish that lets the dragon relief read clearly without competing with the blade. This saya construction is characteristic of the pieces across the 1060 Carbon Steel Ninjato collection.

Overall weight is 3.3 lbs, with a shipping package measuring 43.3 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches at 4.4 lbs. The blue blade, silver alloy fittings, and dark blue dragon saya form a consistent visual theme suited to collector display or as a statement piece in a Japanese sword collection.

  • Dark blue hardwood lacquer saya features embossed dragon motifs across the full length, with silver-tone kojiri and koiguchi fittings that tie the color palette together.
  • Silver alloy tsuka with engraved dragon pattern wrapping, secured with dark blue sageo cord - the monochromatic silver handle contrasts cleanly with the blue blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is used and how hard is the blade?
The blade is forged from full-tang 1060 carbon steel with a blue surface finish applied over the polished steel. 1060 steel typically reaches 50-55 HRC after heat treatment, balancing edge retention with flex resistance.
How detailed is the dragon tsuba on this ninjato?
The silver alloy tsuba features deep three-dimensional dragon scroll relief cast on both faces. The coiled dragon forms project outward from the plate surface, creating visible shadow depth - more sculptural than flat-stamped designs.
Does the saya color match the blade and sageo?
Yes - the dark blue hardwood lacquer saya, dark blue sageo cord, and blue blade share the same color family. Silver-tone koiguchi, kojiri, and tsuka fittings provide contrast, keeping the full koshirae visually coordinated.
