Forged from years of meticulous historical research, the Night Mission Shinobi Ninjato from Black Dragon Forge is a tribute to the elusive warriors of Iga, crafted with the best insights available into the tools they may have wielded during stealth operations. This is a weapon designed not just for display, but for functionality in the hands of a modern practitioner.
1095 Carbon Steel Blade
Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, this blade offers exceptional edge retention and durability, making it a fierce tool for real-world application. The lightweight, agile design, combined with a slightly shorter length and a distally tapered blade, ensures rapid maneuverability and precision handling. This refinement allows for faster strikes, smooth transitions in combat, and effortless control—perfectly suited for engagements requiring speed and adaptability.
Authentic Ninja Utility
Modeled after designs found in museum recreations from Iga, this Ninjato includes an extra-long sageo, allowing for unconventional techniques—tying up opponents, retrieving weapons, or securing footing while scaling obstacles. True to historical records, the spiked saya design enables its use as a ground-embedded step, supporting agile movement in environments where maintaining footing is essential for escape or infiltration.
Stealth-Optimized Tsuba
In contrast to traditional steel guards, this Ninjato is equipped with a square tsuba crafted from black leather with a thick cardboard filling—a design that silences any sound when sheathing or drawing the blade. Historically, folded paper was often used for similar purposes, providing a lightweight yet effective way to ensure absolute stealth. The soft composition of this tsuba prevents any metallic clinking against surfaces, making it invaluable for missions where silence is paramount. Every detail of this feature is aimed at eliminating unwanted noise, allowing the wielder to remain undetected during critical moments of infiltration.
Blowpipe & Blowdarts
Designed for multifunctional stealth operations, this Ninjato is accompanied by a precision-engineered blowpipe that serves both as a breathing tool for underwater concealment and as a silent ranged weapon. The included blowdarts, true to Shinobi methodology, can be tipped with either paralyzing agents or fatal poisons, rendering an enemy incapacitated without a sound. This lightweight yet durable piece of equipment reflects what historians believe was a key element in covert takedowns. Whether used for eliminating threats or escaping unseen beneath the surface of the water, this blowpipe is an integral part of the Shinobi's arsenal.
A Faithful Recreation
While historical debate continues on whether such a sword truly existed (as no known originals have ever been discovered, though such swords HAVE been described in so called "Ninja manuals") this Night Mission Ninjato is built upon the most faithful interpretation available from historical texts and research. It is a weapon designed for practicality and stealth, a true reflection of Shinobi craftsmanship.
For collectors, martial artists, and historians alike, this Ninjato stands as the most utilitarian and historically-informed recreation to date—a piece made not just to be admired, but to be understood and wielded.
