The Ninjato, also known as ninjaken , is the most common name for the Japanese sword that the ninja historically carried. It was a short sword, crafted with far less care than katana or tachi of the samurai. The ninjat? was favored by ninja due to its smaller size in comparison to the samurai katana.According to Masaaki Hatsumi, these swords came in a variety of shapes and sizes. Often, however, they were much shorter than the traditional dait? katana used by the samurai of feudal Japan, straight but still with a slight curve to the sword. The straight bladed, square tsuba (hand guard) (as seen in the image) may be thus just a product of the modern imaginative conception and many Hollywood movies. There are some registers that say that the ninjat? unlike the katana and wakizashi was actually just a stabbing weapon and not a cutting one. It is not known whether the ninjat? had a kissaki(sword tip) or not.
