Swords of the Ninja The ninjato is the name given to the traditional ninja sword. This is the primary weapon of the ninja. It might be as long as a katana or as short as a katana. Generally, the longer the blade, the more powerful the strike.
Like other swords, the ninjato is designed for cutting and stabbing attacks. However, because of its length, it is also capable of inflicting severe wounds with one stroke. Indeed, due to its sharpness and strength, it is said that you can cut yourself using a ninjato.
It might have a bamboo or steel core, but always has a sharp edge. The handle can be either wooden or metal, depending on the maker. Often, the base of the handle will include the character "ninja" in brass or silver.
During battles, ninjas would wear protective gear called "kabuto". This included a helmet shaped like a cat's head with sharp claws attached to the side. They would also wear a chest protector called a "tsuba", and leg protectors called "zori".
In conclusion, the ninja used swords that were similar to those used by samurai. However, since they were not licensed weapons, they could not be used in public trials by their masters.

Ashiaro Bo is the most famous of all Japanese swords. It was owned by a famous Japanese samurai named Ashikaga Yoshinori. In 1457, when he was only 29 years old, Yoshinori was ordered by Emperor Murakami to go to Okinawa to suppress an uprising there. On his way to Okinawa, he was attacked by Yashuhiro Miharu at the Kikuta River near what is now the city of Ushiku in central Japan. Although defeated, Yoshinori managed to escape but lost part of his right arm in the battle. He returned to Japan and built a new house with a workshop in its basement where he made weapons. His wife Masako kept the family business going while he was away fighting in battles.
Yoshinori had two sons who were also named Ashikaga. When they grew up, they wanted to follow their father's footsteps and fight wars. However, because they were young and not very experienced, their father asked one of his friends, a famous warlord named Oda Nobunaga, to help them out.
Weaponry Although shorter swords and daggers were employed, the katana was most likely the ninja's preferred weapon and was occasionally carried on the back. Aside from battle, the katana might be used for a variety of purposes. In low-light situations, the scabbard might be stretched from the blade and utilized as a lengthy probing instrument. This technique was called "chigen uchi." A skilled user could apply just enough pressure with the scabbard to cause blood to well up around the tip of the sword or dagger.
Other tools such as spears, tridents, and bamboo knives also appeared in medieval Japan. They were often used by samurai who had become disenchanted with war and wished to pursue another career. The ninja were also famous for their camouflage techniques, which included wearing clothing that matched the background or hiding among trees or bushes. Trees were commonly used in stealth missions because of their ability to mask any noise made by footsteps.
In conclusion, the ninja used many different kinds of weapons during their battles with the samurai. However, it is safe to say that the katana was probably their favorite weapon because it could be used for so many things besides fighting.
