Many ninja swords available on the market have a straight blade, which is probably due to the film producers in Hollywood. The John Lee Ninjato, on the other hand, goes back to historical lore. As long as it is in the sheath, it is indistinguishable from a normal katana. The shortened blade only reveals itself when it is pulled and gives the ninja the decisive advantage in speed.The particularly flexible 9260 carbon spring steel is used as the blade steel. The steel hardened to approx. 55 ° Rockwell is known to hold its shape even under heavy loads. So ideal for cutting tests.

Due to popular demand, the Red Wood Iaito is now offered as Wakizashi.
Thus, this beautiful training sword training is now available to the wider public. The name derives from the dull, brownish-red lacquered sheath, in which the grain of the wood is still clearly visible.
The sword blade in Shinogi-Zukuri style has a groove (Bo-Hi), is hand forged, blunt and made of 420 stainless steel. The handle wrapping is made of black cotton in a classic Hineri Maki style.
In the red-brown, matt lacquered sheath in Cha-Sti Ishimi style the wood grain is still visible.
Due to the long tang, which is fixed in the handle with two bamboo pins (Mekugi), the sword is fully demountable. There is no plastic used, only high-quality, authentic materials are used.
The blade clamp (Habaki) and washers (Seppa) are made of brass.
The traditional handle wrapping is lined with authentic ray skin.
