I ordered this a couple of weeks and it just arrived about an hour ago. I thought you guys would get a kick out of this, so I figured I'd post. I ordered a Hanwei practical Ninja-to. It has a battle ready blade, 24" blade and it weighs 1 pound 15 ounces. This is a lot heavier than it sounds. I found this handy little page if you guys would like to see more of what it can do.

I'm going to post a few of my pics in a little bit. Get ready for the most epic thing you will see in your life: Me pwning a watermelon (with a face drawn on it) with a ninja sword.

Why would a Ninja need a sword? They were spies, traitors, poisoners, and in general, solid cowards.


Don't forget the most important part: assassins = D
I favor the "ansatsuken", a kung-fu style of killing with your bare hands.

Cowards? Lol, knights hide under 50 pounds of steel, because they're too afraid of getting hit. Ninjas brave combat and fight up close and personal, not under a helmet. Besides, they're too quick to get hit anyways. I don't think a knight would ever stand a chance against one, OR the ansatsus.

Ninjas would need swords if their enemies also had swords, you dummy ;P

Um, but seriously that is frikkin awesome. My dad has an aluminum katana, but it has a dull blade. He also has some wooden sword-like sticks, that he uses for his Akido. Actually, he doesn't anymore. But still, awesome.

I guess you've traded in your ban hammer for a ban sword?

Lol knights could barely even walk straight, let alone hit someone with a who knows how many pounds sword who could run circles around them XP
I don't like knights. I prefer Pirates and Ninja, I cannot fully decide which is better, but that doesn't mean I can't decide what I would rather be ^^

Exactly!

Pirates are cool, but I honestly couldn't live the life of one. Bring veggies first, then we'll talk.

Ever wondered this? Ninja + Forensic expert = "whodunit!?"? Assassinating the target, THEN hiding the evidence, such as excess blood stains, fingerprints of strangling (ansatsu), resetting the scene as if nothing ever happened.... That would be like the Grey Fox of ninjas! Holy crap...

the Grey Fox


You play Oblivion? Or was that from something else... A movie perhaps?

And yeah, the life of a pirate is not the one for me. Despite how "jolly" they may be, I don't like to be "jolly". And ninjas would work fine in the setting most of them existed in, they would just call the woman down the road a witch and say that she did it. Yeah, that isn't true but it isn't far off.

I never had a ban hammer. I have a banfish. And no, I will not be trading it for the sword. Mah fish is too awesome for that.

I have a real katana...

And I know how to use it.
Mess with me, and you'll be on the floor, bleeding, before you know what hit you. =)

A ninja facing someone with a sword, is a failure. You've been watching too many movies. Amazingly, very few of them were turtles! Surprise...

And MudPuddle, you seem to find the negative in everything.


Only in the negative things, I tend to see the positive, in positive things. It's called 'objective'. It's an amazing side affect of thinking. I'm sure you can look it up in a book somewhere.

Hehehe...

If ubertuna wasn't a mod, this thread would have been locked days ago...

Knights often wore ninety pounds of metal, and could leap into their saddle in mid-combat. If armor made someone a helpless target, it wouldn't have ruled the battle field for so long.

Um weren't they lifted onto their horses with the help of their squires?
The reason that armour lasted so long was because while it was restrictive it was also very good and they often fought each other, not ninja vs. knight, so the battlefield was fairly even for them, it's not like there was an army of ninja running around and fighting an army of knights...plus there weren't exactly hundreds of knights either most of the army wore bits o' chainmail and a helm, not full blown armour.

Why is this a debate anywho I mean it's about a Ninjatuna!
NINJATUNA FTW w00t!
