1095 carbon steel black double NINJATO Japanese ninja sword katana musashi tsuba

1095 carbon steel black double NINJATO Japanese ninja sword katana musashi tsuba. The ninjato is often portrayed as having a straight blade (similar to that of a shikomizue) with a square guard. Hayes suggests that the typical description of the ninjato could be due to ninja having to forge their own blades from slabs of steel or iron with the cutting edge being ground on a stone, with straight blades being easier to form than the much more refined curved traditional Japanese sword. His second possible reason for ninjato being described as a straight-bladed, rather short sword could be that the ninja were emulating one of the patron Buddhist deities of ninja families, Fudo Myo-oh, who is depicted brandishing a straight-bladed short sword similar to a chokuto.

This was the standard Japanese fighting sword or katana… For convenience the ninja would choose a blade that was shorter and straighter than usual. Blade thickness: 0.7 cm / 0.28 inch.
