Its possible they bought the Korean swords in the sengoku period although as for China I haven't found anything. I will keep looking :D awesome video I love all of your videos. I am only ten years old and I am a fan of ninjutsu! I heard you wanted to ask Hatsumi for his historical scrolls for historical evidence have you done so?

@oooNaturalOneooo.Makes sence to me pal.The prob is dean and buffon go into tiny details and take us away frm the point,they say a 2mm frm straight sword is not a straight sword?If a wheel is,nt totaly round cause its off at one point by 0.5mm does that mean it is'nt a wheel anymore.Come on.Lets have some common sence instead of arguing over tiny japanese termanoligy points..

Using a broken spear to produce a sword ( recycling) only makes sense. Sure it MAY not or may have been same quality as a katana but really. The idea is to recyle broken weapons in to a usable weapon that is also disposable. Its cost effective and practical. I'm sure a battle field would be full of blades from broken spears and a few varies swords... why not put them to use?

When I was in Bujinkan my instructor told us, if I remember well, that ninjas might have used normal swords, old used swords from battlefields but shortened, breaking the point, to make them more... handy. With the cutting edge a bit damaged so when cutting it would damage more. But now thinking of it they could use also a wakizashi if needed a shorter sword...

@TSOAS2008 I guess some want ninjutsu secret although you don't support Masaaki Hatsumi he is still the only Soke who would know Togakure so I suggest getting information from him.

1)I know from a 1970's Black Belt mag. I have somewhere that Koreans uesd, among other styles, a striaght sword. It, however, had an oval guard. 2) square tsubas are to make, ie lower cost, just cut a square from sheet metal and punch a hole for the blade. not hard. it would lack the fine decoration of samurai swords, but it also would not identify the sword to it's owner. 3) In European art many weapons that have no examples known to exist, cheep weapons get used and broken.& dont survive

[TSOAS2008]

@TheHumbleNinja to be honest, no lol. its a sword, not sure your point. ?

[TheHumbleNinja]

@TSOAS2008 oh ok i got it now, It just seemed to me that It was a modified spear but, they modified it intending on making a sword, so it becomes something different. You get where im coming from?
