The "Ninja Sword" Found In History - Part 2

Did you know that the straight bladed sword existed in quotes, images and in the archaeological record? Well, it did. The ninja sword was not a ninja sword, but it was a historical sword.

I wouldn't know about 30th dan brits who worked decades with short-straight bladed swords with square hand guards, and now deny they ever excited. My resources are russian history books (Russia is bit closer to Japan then Britain, they even still occupy the Japanese Island of Sakhalin since WWII). and they clearly show a NINJA-KEN- SHORT,STRAIGHT BLADED SQUARE GARD SWORD, used in tactics to counter regular katana armed samurais

@MaximKozin could you please show the book and the date and the conection to ninja please. Sounds interesting.

That's possible but I figured you guys are picking antony's wording apart so I would do the same to you

[sonicredcr]

Well dude the 1960s is Japanese historyand they existed then, didn't they?

@ColdNapalm42 Why so angry??? Damn, you either need to get laid or need a swift kick in the balls to calm down. Is this that important to you? You are dominating the comments section here.. disagreeing is good because it gets to results but being so angry automatically makes you look like you aren't intelligent enough to retort with convincing arguments...so instead you resort to insult. Any communicator or debate professional will tell you that. Chill the shit out.

@ColdNapalm42 He never once mentioned welding. Not ONCE!! Why is it so unlikely that a spear could be chopped and re-ground/polished? In fact, with my knowledge of metallurgy, which I'll admit is intermediate at best, cutting and grinding and polishing are some of the more simple skills. The spear wouldn't have to be re-tempered..even an amateur blacksmith of the early time periods of japan would have the skills and tools necessary to cut, grind, and polish a spear to a sword. C'mon..

@ColdNapalm42 First, I am not biased to either opinion yet, I just want to hear who's opinion makes the most sense. You, ColdNapalm, did not add ANY value with this comment. You sound like an ignorant prick who is getting angry because this guy disagrees. Can you please elaborate what you mean when you said his "stance is weak" and "you can't even stand up for it..."? Seriously what are you saying? Learn to communicate before posting. Also, don't be such an insulting shithead (pun intended).

@ColdNapalm42 wedled together? Who said that? And i am not joking now, stop with the insults or you are banned. If you have a reason for why leeds armoury and the Japanese accademics are incorrect, please say so and do not just insult. You are getting no where but banned that way - i have reffrences, you have your own opinion, sorry if that upsets you

[ColdNapalm42]

@TSOAS2008 You are trying to pawn off your ideas as something that actual leading academics said. That is dishonest at best. There is a big differance bettween the royal armoury is a source for my theory and they said that spears were chopped up and welded together to be straight swords. Like I said, your stance is weak. You can't even stand up for it and you have to resort to no, it's not my theory, my sources says so (despite the fact that they don't).

[ColdNapalm42]

@TSOAS2008 Okay give me a DIRECT verbatim quote from somebody at the royal armoury who said EXACTLY what you did. There is nobody. Tell me who in good standing as a japanese sword community has said the same thing? They said that spears were turned into swords. That is not the same as chopping and welding pieces together. Your theory doesn't work. Metallurgy says so. And no I'm not bujinkan or takamatsu...but I know BS when I see it. More importantly, science says your wrong.
