Every ninjato in this collection is hand-forged by experienced bladesmiths. These are not wall hangers. Each sword has a full-tang blade, meaning the steel runs through the entire handle for strength and balance. The edge is sharpened and ready for cutting practice, backyard test cuts, or display. You get a functional blade with real craftsmanship behind it.

5160 spring steel is known for its toughness and flexibility, helping it handle impact and repeated use.
