The ninja-to is longer than the wakazashi, not by much, sometimes only a few inches, but smaller than the katana. It also has a straight wider blade. It was used by those with a little less honor than the samarai who carried katanas. Since it had many more purposes than a katana which was only ever designed for war. The sword that I had made is a ninja-to. It is built into a cane with no unscrewing needed. The blade is 27" and completely straight. It was made out of 5610 high grade steel I believe with a rockwell of 56 tang 52 blade. What does that all mean? Just about master forged. The number of the steel I can't remember what that means, but its something about the flexability and toughness of the final product. Rockwell is a scale of judging steel for strength, going from 1 to 60, with 60 being the toughest steel you can get. Yes, my blade is fully functional, and very sharp, and very illegal in california. It also rusts like a bitch, but I can bend it to a 90degree angle and not have it break. Try that with your $20 decoration piece. Not like mine is anything but a decoration piece. I'll never use the thing in combat but I like to dream about people breaking into my house at night.
Victory to Sagus!

What about the Kan diao? (sp?) it's pretty impressive. It's Arabic I believe.

like you never made a damn spelling error, Goku. :evil: I have the two shitty swords you've all seen plus a futuristic type ninja blade (like on swords online) except it's a letter opener. Funny thing is it is sharp and long enough that it would be easier to kill someone with that than my two swords.

I have a craptastic 20 dollar 'ninja' sword, a flat piece of steel with a wrapped handle that I made myself that I like to pretend is a sword (Its sword shaped, and has a sharpened edge! ... It just looks like ass :\ ), Sting, a weighted chain (I can't remember the japanese name.) and my trusty, never rusty, auto-baton. (Which is the only item out of all of them I regularly carry with me.)
