A shuriken (Japanese 手裏剣; literally: "sword hidden in user's hand") is a traditional Japanese concealed weapon that was generally used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing or slashing.[1] They are sharpened hand-held blades made from a variety of everyday items, such as needles, nails, and knives, as well as coins, washers, and other flat plates of metal.

Shuriken

Shuriken is the name given to any small-bladed object, while shaken is traditionally used to indicate the well-known "throwing star". Shuriken are commonly known in the West as throwing stars or ninja stars though they took many different shapes and designs during the time they were used. The major varieties of shuriken are the bō shuriken (棒手裏剣, stick shuriken) and the hira shuriken (平手裏剣, flat shuriken) or shaken (車剣, also read as kurumaken, wheel shuriken). Dadao. Stylized image of a dadao Based on agricultural knives, dadao have broad blades generally between two and three feet long, long hilts meant for "hand and a half" or two-handed use, and generally a weight-forward balance.

Dadao

Some were made for military use, but they were most commonly associated with civilian militias or revolutionaries. While not a particularly sophisticated sword, the weight and balance of the dadao gave it considerable slashing and chopping power, making it an effective close combat weapon for untrained troops; it was used in this role as late as the 1930s in the Second Sino-Japanese War. During Operation Nekka the Chinese claim that whenever they had a chance for close engagement, the dadao was so deadly that they could cut off the heads of Japanese soldiers with ease. A military marching song, the Dadao March, was composed to become the rally cry for Chinese troops throughout the Second Sino-Japanese war to glorify the use of dadao during battle with the invaders.

Swords for Sale - A Buyers Guide. Falcata. The falcata is a type of sword typical of the pre-Roman Iberian Peninsula (modern Spain and Portugal).

Falcata

Name[edit] The term falcata is not ancient. It seems to have been coined by Fernando Fulgosio in 1872,[1] on the model of the Latin expression ensis falcatus "sickle-shaped sword" (which, however, refers to the Harpe). He presumably went with falcata rather than falcatus because both the Portuguese and Spanish word for sword, espada, is feminine, although there are other presumable theories. The name caught on very quickly and is now firmly entrenched in the scholarly literature. Shape[edit] The falcata has a single-edged blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave near the hilt, but convex near the point. Origin[edit] The falcata was derived from the sickle-shaped knives of the Iron Age; that too explains their ritual uses. Quality and manufacture[edit] Ornamental and liturgical uses[edit] In ancient texts[edit] Caesar awarded the case to the veteran. See also[edit] Woodman's Pal Machete.
