1095 Carbon Steel Ninjato with Blue Blade, Skull Tsuba - Dark Blue Ito Handle

The blade on this ninjato is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished with a deep blue surface treatment that runs cleanly from tip to habaki. The full-tang construction locks the blade securely through the tsuka, giving the piece solid balance at 2.8 lbs across its 40.55-inch total length. The blue coloring is consistent and vivid, with a refined edge and a geometry optimized for the straight ninjato profile. For collectors drawn to Blue Blade 1095 Carbon Steel Ninjato pieces, this one delivers a strong visual identity without sacrificing build quality.

The tsuka is wrapped in dark blue cotton ito with a traditional diagonal pattern, secured over black PU samegawa. Gold accent stitching runs along the wrap, adding warmth to the otherwise cool blue and black palette. The handle is firm in hand, with the ito tension held evenly across the full grip length. A matching menuki sits beneath the wrap on both sides, adding subtle texture and visual depth.

The tsuba is the centerpiece of this build - cast alloy in a darkened black finish with a prominently raised gold skull and crossed-bone design at center. The surrounding texture is rough and organic, contrasting sharply with the polished gold of the skull motif. If the skull aesthetic is your focus, the full range of Skull Theme Tsuba Ninjato options covers additional configurations in this theme.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a high-gloss black lacquer. The surface is smooth and even, providing clean draw and re-sheathing. Near the koiguchi, a section of white and navy floral-patterned fabric wraps the scabbard, and the dark blue sageo cord is secured with a functional knot. Two small black beads accent the sageo attachment point, adding a finishing detail that ties back to the handle color scheme.

At 40.55 inches overall with a blade width of 1.259 inches and blade thickness of 0.275 inches, this ninjato is scaled for full display presence. The shipping weight of 3.3 lbs reflects the solid hardwood and steel construction throughout. Whether positioned on a display stand or stored in its saya, the blue, black, and gold color combination holds strong from any angle.
