What does 5160 leaf spring steel mean?

5160 is a high-carbon working-blade steel valued for toughness, edge retention, and the ability to flex without breaking under impact. Reclaimed from used truck leaf springs in Nepal — same steel grade used in functional swords and kukris for generations. For a 9-inch reaper-class kama delivering heavy swing momentum, 5160 absorbs that impact load without chipping.

The Largest Blade in Our Anime Kama Range — Single or Matched Pair

9-inch hand-forged 5160 spring steel blade on a 14-inch full-tang rosewood handle. The closest functional steel match to Madara Uchiha's iconic scythe-kama silhouette from Naruto Shippuden — the Ghost of the Uchiha's reaper-style weapon. Available as a single or matched pair via the customisation dropdown above the Add to Cart button.

This is the Madara Reaper Kama — a hand-forged 9-inch curved blade on a 14-inch full-tang rosewood handle, finished in 5160 high-carbon spring steel with a raw forged unpolished finish. The largest blade in our anime kama range, weighing approximately 700 grams — heavier than any other kama we forge. Inspired by Madara Uchiha's iconic scythe-kama silhouette from Naruto Shippuden, with strong crossover to Hidan's Akatsuki reaper builds, larger Soul Eater scythe configurations, and broader anime "death-reaper" cosplay archetypes.

By default this kama ships as a single piece. For paired Madara-style or twin-reaper anime configurations, select the "Make it a Pair" option in the customisation dropdown above the Add to Cart button — listed price updates automatically.

Why a 9-Inch Blade Is the Madara Choice

Madara's scythe-kama in Naruto Shippuden is depicted as a long, dramatically-curved single-edged blade — closer to a reaper's scythe than a traditional farm kama. The 9-inch blade on this kama is the closest hand-forged steel match to that silhouette in our entire range. The standard Akali kama (8-inch blade) is built for fast dual-wield. The Sasori compact (7-inch blade) is built for precision-assassin builds. The 9-inch Madara blade is built for reaper-class strikes — heavier swing, longer arc, dramatic visual presence on a convention floor or in a collection display.

The 700-gram blade weight is the practical signature of this size class — it's heavier than every other kama we forge (P1 Akali and P3 Kohaku are 600g; P5 Sasori is 500g). That extra mass means more momentum in each swing, which is exactly what you want for a Madara-style reaper aesthetic. It's also the most labour-intensive single piece in our anime range — more steel, more time at the anvil, more careful tempering to maintain edge integrity at this size.

Customisation Options

Every kama can be customised before forging. Select your options from the dropdown above the Add to Cart button — the listed price updates as you adjust your configuration:

Make it a Pair (Twin Kama)

Add a matched second kama for paired Madara-style configurations, twin-reaper anime cosplay, or large-scale paired kobudō training. Both kamas are forged to identical specifications. Select the pair option from the dropdown — listed price updates accordingly.

Sharpened or Unsharpened Edge

Default edge ships sharpened and ready for use. If you need an unsharpened version for cosplay convention compliance or display-only purposes, leave a note in the order field at checkout — no extra cost. Most large-blade conventions require unsharpened.

Custom Engraving

Add the Uchiha clan symbol, an Akatsuki cloud reference, character initials, or short phrase engraved on the blade. Free customisation option — leave engraving text in the order note field at checkout.

Custom Spec Forge

Need a specific Madara-era weapon variant (Edo-Tensei reanimated era, Ten-Tails arc, Akatsuki cloak-aligned colourway), an even larger blade, or a custom-curve scythe profile? Contact us before ordering for a custom forge quote. 2–6 week timeline.

How We Forge This Kama — Step by Step

1. Steel Selection

5160 high-carbon leaf spring steel reclaimed from Nepali truck springs. Larger blade-blank required for the 9-inch length — sorted carefully for carbon density and grain consistency.

2. Hand Forging

Heated, hammered, and shaped on a traditional anvil by master smiths. The 9-inch length and 700-gram target weight require more time at the anvil than smaller kamas — typically 30 to 50 percent longer per piece.

3. Tempering & Raw Finish

Water-tempered carefully to maintain edge integrity at this larger blade size. Finished with the raw forged unpolished aesthetic that reads cleanly as a Madara-style reaper kama in the anime tradition.

4. Handle & Sheath

Full-tang construction — the 9-inch blade extends through the entire 14-inch ergonomic rosewood handle for absolute strength. Paired with a hand-stitched leather scabbard sized for the larger blade.

Anime & Cosplay Reference

The 9-inch blade and 700-gram reaper-class weight match several large-scale anime kama wielders:

Madara Uchiha (Naruto Shippuden) — direct match. The Ghost of the Uchiha's signature scythe-kama is the iconic reference for this product. The raw forged finish and dramatic blade curve fit Madara's late-Shippuden weapon aesthetic, and the 9-inch length is the closest functional steel approximation of his in-anime weapon.
Hidan-style Akatsuki reaper builds (Naruto) — Hidan's three-bladed scythe is structurally different from a kama, but the reaper-aesthetic and blood-cult weapon archetype crosses over for Akatsuki cosplay. Use the Custom Spec Forge for Akatsuki-specific colourway requests.
Soul Eater scythe-style configurations — for larger Soul Eater character cosplay involving scythe-kama or reaper imagery, the 9-inch blade provides the visual scale that smaller kamas cannot.
Larger Black Star / Tsubaki configurations — for paired-weapon anime cosplay where one half is the reaper-class kama, this product paired with our Black Star Tactical Kama creates an asymmetric twin-weapon set.
Anime "death-reaper" or grim-reaper aesthetic builds — the raw forged finish and reaper-class blade size suit grim-reaper cosplay across multiple anime series.

For Kohaku kusarigama (Inuyasha), see the Kohaku Extended Kusarigama Kama. For balanced twin-ready combat use, see the Hand-Forged Anime Combat Kama.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this kama as a Madara Uchiha replica?

The 9-inch curved blade on a 14-inch rosewood handle is the closest hand-forged steel match to Madara Uchiha's iconic scythe-kama silhouette from Naruto Shippuden. The raw forged unpolished finish suits Madara's late-Shippuden / Edo-Tensei weapon aesthetic without further customisation. For specific Madara-era colourways (Akatsuki red cloud, Ten-Tails arc dark variants), use the Custom Spec Forge option before ordering.

Why is the blade weight 700 grams when other kamas are lighter?

The 9-inch blade is the largest in our anime kama range and requires more steel to forge — that mass is why this kama feels noticeably heavier in hand than our 7-inch Sasori (500g) or 8-inch Akali (600g). The extra weight gives the kama more momentum in each swing, which is exactly what you want for a Madara-style reaper aesthetic. The full-tang construction balances the heavier blade with a solidly-anchored handle.

How do I order this kama as a matched pair?

Use the customisation dropdown above the Add to Cart button. Select the "Make it a Pair" option and the listed price will update automatically to reflect a matched second kama. Both kamas are forged to identical 9-inch / 14-inch specifications so they balance correctly for paired Madara-style or twin-reaper cosplay configurations.

Is this kama actually sharp, or for cosplay convention display only?

By default this kama ships with a working edge — sharp enough for bushcraft, brush clearing, and martial arts training cuts. If you need an unsharpened version for cosplay convention compliance, leave a note at checkout and we will ship the kama unsharpened at no extra cost. Most conventions require unsharpened blades for prop weapons of this size.

Is this large enough to work as a scythe-style anime weapon?

Yes — the 9-inch blade is the closest a kama silhouette comes to a true scythe in our range. For full anime scythe builds (curved blade longer than 12 inches with a polearm handle), we can quote a custom forge build via the Custom Spec Forge option. For most Madara, Hidan-adjacent, and Soul Eater scythe-style cosplay, the standard 9-inch / 14-inch configuration is large enough to read on camera and on a convention floor.

What is the difference between this and the Akali Shadow Kama or Sasori Compact?

This is the largest blade in the range — built for Madara-style reaper configurations. The Akali Shadow Kama has an 8-inch blade on a 12-inch handle, sized for League of Legends Akali standard dual-wield. The Sasori Compact Anime Kama has a 7-inch blade on an 8-inch handle, built for compact precision-assassin Naruto cosplay. All three can be ordered as matched pairs.

What does "5160 leaf spring steel" actually mean?

5160 is a high-carbon working-blade steel valued for toughness, edge retention, and the ability to flex without breaking under impact. The "leaf spring" part means the steel is reclaimed from used truck leaf springs in Nepal — a traditional Nepali blacksmithing material. Same steel grade used in functional swords, kukris, and combat blades for generations. For a 9-inch reaper-class kama that delivers heavy swing momentum, 5160 absorbs that impact load without chipping.
