The ninjat is typically depicted as being a short sword, often portrayed as having a straight blade with a square guard. Usually of a length “less than 60 cm”, the rest of the sword is comparatively “thick, heavy and straight”. Despite the disputed historical existence of the ninjato, Hayes claims to describe it in detail, and suggests that the typical description of the ninjat could be due to ninja having to forge their own blades from slabs of steel or iron with the cutting edge being ground on a stone, with straight blades being easier to form than the much more refined curved traditional Japanese sword. His second possible reason for ninjat being described as a straight-bladed, rather short sword could be that the ninja were emulating one of the patron Buddhist deities of ninja families, Fudo Myo-oh, who is depicted brandishing a straight-bladed short sword similar to a chokut. Stephen Turnbull, a historian specializing in the military history of Japan indicates of historical ninja: The most important ninja weapon was his sword. This was the standard Japanese fighting sword or katana… For convenience the ninja would choose a blade that was shorter and straighter than usual. OVERALL LENGTH: 103 cm / 40.6 inch.

The blade should be stored horizontally in its sheath, curve down and edge facing upward to maintain the edge. It is extremely important that the blade remain well-oiled, powdered and polished, as the natural moisture residue from the hands of the user will rapidly cause the blade to rust if not cleaned off.
