Battle Ready Ninja Swords

Ninja Swords

Our Ninja Swords have been hand selected for their class and quality, so you can be assured that you are purchasing a quality sword at the best possible price.

Ninja were professional spies during the age of the samurai. Their origins go back to the twelfth century, when the samurai class began to gain power. When the scale of fighting increased in the fourteenth century, it became necessary to conduct espionage activities against enemy forces, and ninja became even more active.

Although all the Ninja Swords on this page are fully functional or "Battle Ready", they are intended solely for demonstration or decorative purposes only. If used for Martial Arts, expert care and supervision should be exercised.

The Dark Sentinel

Combining the slashing power of the Samurai Katana with the agility and thrusting ability of the fine European dueling swords, the Dark Sentinel (SH2066), is a handsome sword with a bite. Light and quick enough for single hand fencing but with the ability to turn on awesome two handed power, the Dark Sentinel will guard the castle gates against all would be usurpers - without draining the Royal treasury! The forged high carbon steel blade is complemented by a studded leather wrapped grip with a stylized tsuba like guard. A leather covered scabbard with steel fittings completes the package.

Our Zatoichi Sword (SH1014), immortalized by the blind swords man, is a full tang straight Katana disguised as a simple walking stick.

Includes cloth storage sleeve and cutting tube.

Practical Ninja Sword

The Practical Ninja (SH1071), is a wonderful addition for those studying the Way of the Ninja. The blade is made of hand-forged high-carbon steel and is differentially tempered using a traditional claying method. All the fittings (koshirae) are done in antiqued black iron. The ornate tsuba displays the kuji-kiri (energy-channeling hand positions) employed by the mystical ninja. The tsuka is wrapped in a synthetic ray skin (same) and the tsuka-ito is done in imitation black leather. The saya has flat black finish with demon-head bindings for the black Japanese cotton sageo and an intricate kojiri on the end of the saya. A sword no practitioner of Ninjutsu should be without.
