Nothing special about that, just an equilateral triangle with the edges sharpened. The pointy "ninja star" is an anachronism the real things (which were nothing more than a handleless throwing knife) were more often than not triangles with the edges sharpened. And just like a frisby the right angle and spin would make them hook.Hjorimir said:Here's a challenge for you. In David Edding's Belgariad series an assassin (named Brill) uses a weapon called a Dagashi adder-sting, which is some kind of thrown weapon that can be hooked around corners if one is proficient.If I recall correctly, it is described as a small triangluar metal dart, which was apparently used to deliver all manner of nasty toxins.

Neat.Tetsubo said:This tetsubo is actually two separate sections, joined at the middle. There is a solid steel rod that passes down the center of both sections. Nuts at either end hold the tetsubo together.
