Tactical Ninja Sword Shinobi with Stacked Leather Handle
East Meets West
The dominant feature of this sword is the blade made of 420 stainless steel, which boasts the typical straight shape associated in pop culture with historical ninjas. The black finish not only eliminates glare (which any night scout would appreciate) but also protects the metal. However, what makes this piece exceptional is the handle. Instead of the traditional Tsuka-ito wrapping, you will find a grip made of compressed leather discs. This style was made famous by American combat knives (like the KA-BAR) during World War II. The leather feels warm in the hand, offers a non-slip grip, and develops a beautiful patina over time. The guard (tsuba) and pommel (kashira) are made of steel, completing the robust construction.

History vs. Pop Culture
While historical ninjas (Shinobi) likely used standard wakizashis or katanas to blend in with the crowd, modern pop culture of the 80s created the myth of the "Ninja-to" – a straight-bladed sword that could be carried on the back. This model is a tribute to this modern legend, enriched with elements of modern tactical gear. It serves primarily as a symbol and an example of how weapons evolve in the imagination of film and game creators.
Care and Maintenance
To keep the sword bringing you joy for a long time, give it occasional care:
- Leather: The handle is made of natural material. If the leather starts to dry out, treat it with a beeswax-based leather balm. This will prevent cracking and keep it pleasant to the touch.
- Blade: Although the steel is stainless, dust and humidity can still affect it. Wipe the blade regularly, and for long-term storage, you can lightly coat it with silicone oil.
Important Safety Warning
Please note that although this sword looks like a dangerous weapon, it is a decorative item. The 420 steel blade is resistant to corrosion but is not hardened for the impacts of contact fencing. The material is brittle, and striking hard objects or prying could cause the blade to break and cause injury. Use the sword exclusively for decoration, practicing drawing into the air (without contact), or as a costume accessory.
