Ninjato

Step into the shadowy world of the ninja with our Ninjato Collection – featuring sleek, straight-blade swords inspired by the mysterious warriors of feudal Japan. Sometimes referred to as Shinobigatana, the Ninjato is the exclusive weapon of the ninja. Unlike the curved katana, the Ninjato has a straight blade, square tip, and shorter length – designed for speed, stealth, and adaptability in confined spaces.

While traditionally used by covert agents in Japan's Sengoku era, today’s Ninjato is a favorite among collectors, martial artists, and cosplay fans alike. Whether you seek a carbon steel battle-ready blade or a lightweight replica for costume and display, Coolkatana delivers authentic quality and style.

Each piece in our Ninjato line is designed in Japan and hand-forged in Longquan, China – a city renowned for its 2,000-year sword-making tradition. Our blades are the result of centuries of craftsmanship, blending the legacy of ninja warfare with modern forging technology.

Explore our full range of real and replica Ninjato swords, fake katana swords, and samurai-inspired blades – all crafted to honor the precision, simplicity, and stealth of the shinobi.

Ninjato – The Legendary Ninja Sword

Ninjato Sword for Sale: Authentic Ninja Blades and Weapons

Explore our exclusive collection of ninja swords, inspired by the stealth and agility of ninjas from feudal Japan. The ninjato sword stands out with its shorter length, straight blade, and distinctive square guard, making it an essential weapon for stealthy maneuvers. Unlike traditional samurai swords, the ninjato was designed for quick, decisive action, ideal for close combat and practical defense.

Hand-forged from high carbon steel, our Japanese swords are not just collectibles—they're fully functional and battle-ready. Each sword is meticulously crafted in the traditional Japanese style, ensuring a perfect balance between form and function. Whether you're a practitioner of martial arts, a historical enthusiast, or a collector, our short swords are designed to meet your needs.

Our exclusive collection of ninja swords is designed with precision, incorporating key features such as an optimized blade length for agility and maneuverability. The shorter length of the ninjato allows for swift and efficient strikes, making it ideal for close-quarters combat, stealth, and quick defense. The blade is differentially hardened, a technique that ensures the cutting edge is hard and razor-sharp, while the spine of the blade remains more flexible, increasing its durability and strength in combat.

In addition, many of our swords are clay tempered, a traditional Japanese forging method. By applying a layer of clay to the blade before heat treatment, the process creates a distinct hardness differential between the edge and the spine, enhancing the sword's cutting ability and flexibility.

Key Features:

  • High carbon steel blade with a durable, razor-sharp edge.
  • Classic square guard for enhanced hand protection.
  • Balanced and lightweight, perfect for both display and practical use.
  • Suitable for martial arts training, cosplay, or collection.
