Kouga 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 Kouga features a tsuka with a battle wrap over black rayskin and Kouga Mon menuki. The blackened iron tsuba features the Kouga Mon and pierced Kanji, a theme repeated on the fuchi and kashira. The Kanji and Mon are also employed on the blackened fittings of the spiked Saya. The Kouga features a forged high carbon blade, differentially quenched to an edge hardness of 60HRc. Essential tool for the Ninjutsu practitioner. Made by Hanwei.
