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

Leave a comment

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.

2 New Medieval and Renaissance Blades from Kingston Arms (and a “beast” from APOC)

By | | ,
Leave a comment

This darned ‘flu is not helping any, but slowly the plethora of swords and blades waiting in the wings to hit the market continues with 2 new Renaissance era blades from Kingston Arms and a terrifying ‘thing’ by Mike Wallace and APOC.

So first, the ‘funnest’ one..

Kingston Arms Bollock Dagger

‘Bollocks’ of course is a British and Scottish term for ‘balls’ basically, and one quick look at this cheeky blades handle reveals why. But it was no joke, this was a 13th century blade frequently kept both as a quick use sidearm and as an award or symbol of pride and masculinity. This and the Celtic anthropomorphic hilt swords are some of the more unique blade hilts in history. Makes a great humorous or honorable gift for anyone who has real cojones..

Bollock Dagger

Kingston Arms Shell Guard Cutlass

They call it a ‘Shell Guard’ Cutlass, but we all know this is a pirate sword. Apparently one based on one of several owned by the infamous Blackbeard (who as you may know, was always armed to the teeth – with a brace of pistols and at LEAST one Cutlass)..

Shell Guard Cutlass

PIRATES ONLY SECTION

“Ahoy! This here cutlass be forged from steel finer than any ye’ll find in these treacherous waters. Resistant to the cruel bite of rust, ‘tis perfect fer escapin’ the fate of endin’ up with a hook fer a hand. Swift and deadly, this cutlass be. Generous terms await, for any crew armed with these be assured victory in the heat of a swashbucklin’ clash. These newfangled steels be like magic!”

And finally, Mike Wallaces ‘BEAST’ – the APOC Smatchet

I can’t really call THIS a knife..

I mean, technically it is a knife, but is also a hatchet, a shovel, something to open a can with or – well – deliver incredibly deep cuts and slashes and incredibly powerful thrusts (the thing weighs nearly 2lbs!). Titanium coated D2 steel with G10 riveted handle takes this weapon of relatively recent history and makes it look like it has been evolving since Fairbain first dreamed it up during WWII.

Smatchet

Background info – The British Smatchet: A Blade with a Bold Legacy

A Weapon Born in War The smatchet, designed by William E. Fairbairn during World War II, was intended for close combat and used by special forces – both British and American.

Design and Features Characterized by its broad, leaf-shaped blade, the smatchet is sharpened on one side and partially on the other. The handle is designed for a secure grip, making it ideal for slashing, thrusting, and chopping.

Psychological Impact Fairbairn believed that holding the smatchet instilled confidence, determination, and aggressiveness in the user. Its balance and weight made it an effective personal weapon.

Combat and Training The smatchet was simple to use, requiring minimal training. It was particularly useful in close-quarters combat, delivering powerful blows.

Modern-Day Legacy Today, the smatchet remains popular among collectors and historical reenactors. Modern versions are still produced, ensuring its continued appreciation.

Fun Fact: The smatchet’s name combines “smashing” and “hatchet,” reflecting its dual-purpose design.

Time for a rest to shake this darned ‘flu, in the meantime – enjoy these three cool new designs! More products and surprises coming soon..!

Swordier just keeps them coming…! 2 New Premium Quality, low priced and historically plausible Longswords..

Leave a comment

They actively seek out and listen to feedback and criticism to improve each product. They use premium materials and research the handling and more subtle styling of medieval swords, with each one their best attempt at a something historically plausible.

So far, they have done an amazing job. But it’s far from over, here’s two more new ones to add to their rapidly expanding selection, both made from materials and honestly, would be good value at DOUBLE the current price..

Let’s meet them, starting with:

#1: Swordier Type XVIa Longsword with Genuine Rich Brown Leather Scabbard

Swordier like small details, like the smell of genuine leather throughout (hand stitched), clean lines and exceptional tempering, and this sword is no exception. It’s a very aggressive handling sword with a blade just shy of 38″ and a 12.2″ handle, and as always with Swordier, it’s totally under-priced..

$379.95

#2: Swordier Damascus Longsword with Oxblood Red Handle and Genuine Leather Scabbard

Faint Damascus folding pattern on 65mn spring steel, hollow ground blade with clean fittings, you really need to take a close look at this one.. Real steel, real leather, real price and stunning value…

$409.95

It’s an impressive and constantly growing high quality, low price selection – only downside is their popularity means they take a LITTLE longer to ship and arrive than some other brands, but oh is it worth the extra few days wait..

Enjoy, because even though I am a little slower than usual due to the ‘flu, I had a bunch of new blades from all over just waiting in the wings this month. So stay tuned..!
