By the way, I meant incorporeal, not ethereal. But they're really just weapons, the sword is made of sake from the gourd, the shield is probably chakra, since it can take on every nature transformation. Plus, Orochimaru looked for them, so at one point, they weren't in Itachi's possession. Or how would Orochimaru know about them if they only existed since Itachi had his Susanoo? Itachi did probably integrated them into his Susanoo. When they are part of his Susanoo, they're made up of the same chakra material. And we've seen that 'sake' be shaped into a blade, so there has to be chakra manipulation in it.
