Introducing the Ninjato, also known as Ninjaken or Shinobigatana, the weapon of choice for the Shinobi, or ninja, of feudal Japan. This weapon was typically carried on the person's back, oriented horizontally around waist height. Today, modern ninjutsu practitioners, including Masaaki Hatsumi and Stephen K. Hayes, highlight this weapon as a fundamental tool for a ninja, and it enjoys a significant presence in popular culture. Replicas of this esteemed weapon can be seen at the Ninja Museum of Igaryu, established in the mid-1960s, the Koka Ninja Village Museum in Kōka, Shiga, and at the Gifu Castle Archives Museum in Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
Our rendition of the ninjato features a spring steel blade, known for its resilience and durability, and a sleek black scabbard for safe storage and transport. The handle is wrapped in black faux leather and further enhanced with a black ray-skin wrap for an optimal and comfortable grip. The iron tsuba, or handguard, adds an authentic and traditional touch to this remarkable weapon.
Hand-forged and hand-sharpened to razor-edge precision, this full-tang, battle-ready sword is not just a display piece, but a fully functional weapon. Crafted with stunning workmanship and an acute attention to detail, this katana samurai sword embodies the blend of functionality and art. Experience the expert craftsmanship and the age-old techniques that go into making this sword, a tribute to the power and grace of the Shinobi.
