Iga Ninja-To

The neighboring Kouga and Iga clans of feudal Japan were bitter enemies for centuries and their warring Ninja families have been immortalized in Japanese literature. To commemorate these secretive warriors Hanwei have introduced the Kouga and Iga Ninja-To. The tsuka of the Iga Ninja-To features a traditional wrap over natural rayskin and Clouds and Sun/Water and Moon menuki. The blackened iron fittings include a tsuba displaying the Iga Mon and a wave motif, both repeated on the fuchi/ and kashira. The Saya features a partial rattan wrap and a heavily reinforced spike. The Iga features a forged high carbon blade, differentially quenched to an edge hardness of 60HRc. Essential tool for the Ninjutsu practitioner. Made by Hanwei.
