Nightwood Ninja | Folded Steel Clay Tempered Ninja Sword with Ebony & Brass

A blade born from the heart of darkness, the Nightwood Ninja is a masterpiece of minimalist luxury. Its form is a seamless union of precious materials: a handle and scabbard of deep, dark Ebony wood are capped with brilliant, polished Brass. This stark beauty conceals a blade of formidable power—folded steel, traditionally clay-tempered to produce a vivid, real hamon. It is the perfect embodiment of the ninja ethos: silent, elegant, and possessed of a hidden, deadly strength.

Why Choose the Nightwood Ninja?

• A Masterclass in Materials: Ebony & Brass: This sword is defined by its luxurious materials. The handle and scabbard are crafted from dense, beautiful Ebony wood, perfectly complemented by lustrous, solid Brass fittings. This combination creates a high-end, minimalist aesthetic.
• The Art of the Blade: Folded & Clay-Tempered: The blade showcases two premium forging techniques. It is hand-forged from **folded steel** for a beautiful, subtle grain (hada), then traditionally **clay-tempered** to produce a genuine hamon and an incredibly hard, sharp edge.
• Minimalist "Shirasaya" Inspired Design: The seamless, guardless (no tsuba) mounting is in the traditional Shirasaya style, designed to showcase the beauty of the blade and the materials of the mounting without distraction.
• Functional Straight-Blade Ninja Sword: True to its name, this sword features a straight blade, reminiscent of the legendary Ninjato. It is a full-tang, battle-ready weapon, hand-forged in Longquan for authentic performance.
