Crafted from 65Mn Spring Steel, these blades are built for toughness, resilience, and real functionality—without the jaw-dropping price tag that’s becoming all too common in the industry.

But fair warning: we don’t know how long we can hold this price. With stock replenished and demand rising, this is your golden opportunity to claim a Horimono blade before the winds of trade shift again.
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.
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!
