Ninjato where never really a thing. They where invented by movies and would not actually make a good weapon. They would not have enough wheight or curve for slashing and the large guard would make it unrealible for slashing.

If you where looking for what the Shinobi (ninja) actually used that would be a Ko-Wakizashi, which is a slighlt shorter Wakizashi in a O-Wakizashi (the normal sized Wakizashi) sheath.

If you where looking for a weapon of a closer design and purpose that the Ninjato is depicted to have (being a light stabbing weapon around shortsword length). Then I would recomand the Tsurugi, it is a double edged shortsword designed for stabbing with the ability for moderate cutting power and is fairly light.

Just thought I would give you a heads up.
