Introducing the Black Dragon Forge Night Mission Shinobi Ninjato: A Blade Forged for Stealth & Precision

For centuries, the legend of the Shinobi has captivated historians, martial artists, and collectors alike. Though much about their true arsenal remains shrouded in mystery, Black Dragon Forge has meticulously reconstructed the Night Mission Shinobi Ninjato—a weapon steeped in stealth, speed, and historical insight.

This is more than just a sword. It’s a recreation of a legend, crafted with the most faithful details gleaned from historical texts, museum reconstructions, and expert research into the tools that may have been wielded by the Ninja of Iga.

Engineered for Tactical Superiority

At the heart of this masterpiece lies a 1095 high-carbon steel blade, forged for durability and razor-sharp efficiency. A distally tapered design ensures swift, precise handling, making it lightweight and incredibly fast in the hand—ideal for unpredictable combat scenarios. With a no-nonsense tanto-style chisel tip, this Ninjato delivers deep puncturing power, perfectly suited for close-quarter engagements.

Stealth Features Rooted in History

True to the ingenuity of the Shinobi, this sword features an extra-long sageo, granting the wielder unconventional versatility. Whether for tying down opponents, retrieving tools, or aiding movement in confined spaces, every detail of this design serves a functional purpose rooted in stealth warfare.

The square tsuba, wrapped in black leather with thick cardboard filling, eliminates the noisy clink of traditional steel guards. Inspired by historical folding-paper designs, this silence-optimized feature ensures smooth, undetected sheathing and drawing—vital for infiltration missions.

Blowpipe & Blowdarts: The Shinobi’s Silent Arsenal

This Night Mission Ninjato is more than a blade—it’s a complete stealth toolkit. Accompanying the sword is a blowpipe, doubling as a breathing apparatus for underwater concealment, alongside two sets of blowdarts capable of delivering paralyzing or fatal poisons.

Whether for escaping unseen or eliminating threats without a sound, this tool brings Shinobi tactics into the modern era.

A Faithful Recreation, A True Collector’s Piece

While debate continues on whether such a sword ever truly existed, this Night Mission Ninjato is the most historically-informed, utilitarian version to date. Made for martial artists, collectors, and history enthusiasts alike, this is not just a sword—but a glimpse into the world of true Shinobi warfare.

This extraordinary blade is now available. Experience the silent precision of the Shinobi—before it disappears into the shadows.

Just $299.95 with FREE SHIPPING!

Special Note for U.S. Customers – this is probably your first and last chance to secure this blade at the $299.95 price tag. As they are shipped directly from the forge in China, from May 2nd there may well be an additional $150-$160 in tariffs due before you can get your hands on it and we have half a dozen almost completed and that will ship early. So if you want to get it at our intended price instead of the looming trade war price, you need to be as fast and precise as a real Shinobi and get one of these in your Ninja arsenal NOW!

Go Big or Go Home: The Last Chance to Secure Swords at 2024 Prices Ahead of Tariffs and Trade War..

Introduction
The sword market is facing a seismic shift. With new tariffs on Chinese imports set to take effect on May 2, prices are expected to skyrocket by 30-54% on all incoming shipments. If you’ve ever considered expanding your collection or stocking up, this is your last chance to do so before the price surge.

What’s Happening?
The U.S. government has imposed new tariffs on Chinese imports, with rates reaching 54% on swords and all other imported items.

This means that all swords arriving after May 2 will be subject to these increased costs, leading to inevitable price hikes. Additionally, any ‘direct from the forge’ orders—including Project X, Black Dragon Forge, and Swordier—will face delays and additional tariff charges for U.S. customers.


Why Act Now?

  1. Prices are locked at 2024 rates until May 2—after that, expect significant increases.
  2. Stock is limited—once current inventory is gone, restocking will come at a much higher cost.
  3. Tariff-related delays—ordering now ensures faster delivery before the new regulations take effect.

Final Call: Go Big or Go Home

This isn’t just another price adjustment—it’s a fundamental shift in the sword market. Whether you’re a collector, a practitioner, or a reseller, now is the time to secure your swords before the tariffs take effect. Once May 2 arrives, the value of swords will go through the roof.

Don’t wait—shop now and lock in 2024 prices while you still can.
