Large Shuriken and Throwing Stars
These are great practice stars, they are my personal favorites. They have a good weight, but are not sharp. They stick easier because of their size and weight, and they do not bend easy. They measure 3-4 inches on average, and are good for beginners. These stars are made of steel, and have miscellaneous engravings on them.
Throwing stars have been around
for centuries. Made famous by the legend of the Ninjas, the throwing star or
Shuriken is a basic throwing weapon with striking surfaces on all edges. Unlike
a throwing knife, the throwing star is designed to harm the target regardless of
which end it lands on. Some throwing stars or shurikens are diced with poison,
so that a quick kill can be accomplished. The Japanese art of Ninjitsu was most
known for their use of the throwing star (shuriken). They were masters of
concealment and deception, so a hidden weapon and a quick release killing tool
such as the throwing star was ideal.
The throwing star actually originated from China. Chinese kung fu
encompass many arts and even Ninjitsu can be traced back to China.
