Shinobi Ninja-To

The Practical Shinobi Ninja-to, whose construction patterns closely that of the Practical Katana, is a wonderful addition for those studying the Way of the Ninja. The blade is hand-forged from a high-carbon steel billet and is differentially hardened using a traditional claying method. All the fittings (koshirae) are finished in antiqued black iron. The ornate tsuba displays the kuji-kiri (energy-channeling hand positions) employed by the mystical ninja. The tsuka is wrapped in a synthetic ray skin (same), available in black or white, and the tsuka-ito is in durable synthetic black leather. The saya has flat black finish with demon-head bindings for the black Japanese cotton sageo and an intricate kojiri. A sword no practitioner of Ninjutsu should be without. * Hand-forged high-carbon steel * Saya has flat black finish * Ornate tsuba Overall length: 34 1/2“ Blade length: 22 3/4“ Handle length: 10 1/4“ Weight: 1lb 14oz Point of Balance: 4 1/2" Width at Guard: 1.13" Width at Tip: .85" Thickness at Guard: .27" Thickness at Tip: .22" Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece.
