Ninjato 1090 Carbon Steel Hand-Hammered Blade with Black Dragon-Engraved Saya and Silver Scroll Tsuba

The blade of this ninjato is forged from 1090 carbon steel and heat-treated to 62 HRC, delivering a hard, refined edge along its 28.74-inch length. The surface is worked by hand, each hammered dent struck individually to create a textured, irregular pattern that catches light differently at every angle - no two pieces are identical. The chrome-finished steel contrasts sharply against the all-black koshirae, making the blade the visual anchor of the entire piece. For collectors interested in high-carbon steel options, our 1090 Carbon Steel Ninjato collection offers additional configurations in this grade.

The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is wrapped over genuine black rayskin, providing a firm, non-slip base layer beneath the outer black cord wrap. The full-tang construction runs the complete length of the handle, ensuring the assembly holds together as a single rigid unit rather than relying on adhesive or pin-only connections. Silver-toned alloy fuchi collars frame both ends of the handle, each engraved with the same scroll motif carried throughout the fittings.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in a silver finish and shaped around an ornate scroll design - the raised, curling relief work visible on both faces gives it depth beyond a flat stamped guard. At the junction between tsuba and saya, a matching silver sageo ring fitting echoes the scroll pattern, reinforcing the design continuity across every fitting on this sword.

The saya runs 29.92 inches and is constructed from lacquered hardwood wrapped in matte black PU leather. Dragon imagery is pressed into the leather across the full length of the saya, creating a low-relief surface texture that is tactile as well as visual. The black sageo cord completes the scabbard assembly. Collectors exploring similar black-finished ninjato builds can browse the broader High Carbon Steel Ninja Sword collection for comparable koshirae styles.

Overall length is 40.55 inches with a shipping weight of 3.3 lbs. The koshirae-style presentation - monochrome black lacquered hardwood, dragon-embossed leather, and silver alloy fittings throughout - makes this ninjato a focused, coherent piece for collectors who want a consistent aesthetic from tip to kashira.
