There are many different forms of shuriken (throwing spikes and knives) and shaken (flat multi-pointed throwing blades, or stars) in existence, from antiquity to the modern age. This version is perhaps one of the most popular and effective designs conceived. Dating back well over 700 years to ancient Japan, warriors (most notably the ninja or shinobi warriors) used these blades to distract, injure, and slow down other pursuing enemies, or when coated in doku (poison in Japanese), the toxins could illicit a more lethal effect. Often a weapon of choice by lower classes as well due to their ready concealibility, they could also be used as a fist-load and close in weapon, to gouge and cut at vulnerable areas like the eyes, throat, backs of the hands, and forearms of an opponent wielding a sword or other more formidable weapon, or to use as a "force multiplier" in grappling situations. They will absorb years of punishment. Easily straightened if bent or otherwise damaged during use, and readily sharpened if required, these "genin" (ninjitsu term for soldier, or adept) class shaken are a great value for practice throwing, or even competition throwing! Sold in sets of 3, 5, and 9 shaken per set.
