Ninja Cross

This is not a cross at all, and only included on these pages for completeness (and to stave off any more enquiries we've received about this 'cross'.)

Ninja Cross

Smooth blades

Arrow Heads

Barbs

See also Boomerang

The correct name for this multi-bladed weapon is Shuriken and often called a 'throwing star', with between three and eight points; four being the most common. (See also Star Cross.) There are several styles, ranging from smooth blades to arrow heads to barbs. (See also Barby Cross.)

They were never tools of first choice for Ninja, but the name has been adopted to make it sound more exotic.

Easy to throw, but a bit awkward to catch. They are banned in many countries and a nightmare for veterinary surgeons who treat dogs trained to catch Frisbees.

And that's all we have to say about these implements. As for the Ninja, well, they are famous for sneaking around at night, always alert and ready to change tactic. Their stealth can best be summed up in this little story.
