yea this is what kind of sword a historical ninja would use not the movie version of what you see today wich is not historicly corect

[xmusicfeverx]

No, there is. According to the book Ninjutsu History and Tradition, a ninja's sword was called a ninjato, or a shinobi katana.

Mr. Paul Chen, I find the 30" nagasa 9260 spring steel katana is a better cutter than the standard 27" carbon steel blade. Thank you.

@owenspence FINALLY!! Someone I that knows what the hell a Chokuto is, but some of your Shinobi history is off. Actually alot of Ninja were Samurai, or more Ronin(Masterless Samurai), Ashigaru(Foot Soldier) and some farmers. The Ashigaru and farmers would've only used the straight blade until the time when EVERYONE had a katana and Chokuto were outdated. The point af the shinobi of course was to blend, so why use a blade that would make them stick out? If you wish to, debate(not argue). PM me :)

Actually, the ninja did have a fairly straight blade, known as the chokuto. Perhaps the main reason ninja did not possess or produce the samurai katana, is because ninja families were most often of the poorer social class and as such, could not afford the cost of such blades, which were curved as they were, because of the quenching method, Ninja were the anti-thesis of the samurai, not a lower branch and they took whatever tools served their purpose, including the katana, if necessary.

@cdeyoke Shinobi never used straight swords, there's no proof of it. And most ninja were of the lower branch of the samurai class, so that myth that they steal katana from samurai is just as ridiculous.

[cderycke]

The Ninja sword was straight but was weak so they stole Samuri swords that they defeated.

XM is right is called the Ninjato. :)

The guy here looks familiar.

A Ninja sword was actually a kokatana/ kodachi or if you don't know what that is, a wakizashi length blade with a katana length handle. The sword would be in a normal length sheath in order to make the opponent miscalculate on how quickly the sword could be drawn.

[PsychoticVampiric]

around 250.00 to 265.00

How much would a sword like the one in the video cost including shipping to Scotland ?

[Aderjin]

In that sense, it is spelt shinobigatana. ( 'K' is replaced with 'G'

Don't ask why, just some rule of the Japanese language. By the way, they were also called Ninjaken.

P.S. Ninja also used to disguise their swords as canes, in the form of a Shikomizue, which would have been helpful in the times where it was illegal for peasants to carry katana.
