Captain Sword

Captains Sword 

The Captain's Sword is to be used by elite soldiers. A nimble quick striking weapon, not designed to be draw often or over used, but only when needed. The outcroppings around the handle would ideally protect it's wielders hand and forearm from being struck.

Hira-Shuriken

Hira-Shuriken also commonly called 'Ninja Star' Shuriken being the name for all throwing stars and Hira is the type of Shuriken. 

Hira-shuriken are constructed from thin, flat plates of metal derived from a variety of sources including hishi-gane (coins), kugi-nuki (carpentry tools), spools, and senban (nail removers), and generally resemble popular conceptions of shuriken in movies and television.

They often have a hole in the center and possess a fairly thin blade sharpened only at the tip. The holes derive from their source in items that had holes – old coins, washers, and nail-removing tools. This proved convenient for the shuriken user, as well, as the weapons could be strung on a string or dowel in the belt for transport, and the hole also had aerodynamic and weighting effects that aided the flight of the blade after it was thrown.

There is a wide variety of forms of hira-shuriken and they are now usually identified by the number of points the blades possess.

Scythe

A Scythe is an agricultural hand tool for mowing grass, or reaping crops. It was largely replaced by horse-drawn and then tractor machinery, but is still used in some areas of Europe and Asia. The Grim Reaper and Death are often depicted carrying or wielding a scythe I think because it is effective at chopping down victims when they try to run.

A scythe consists of a wooden shaft about 170 centimetres (67 in) long called a snaith, snath, snathe or sned. The snaith may be straight, or with an "S" curve, but the more sophisticated versions are curved in three dimensions, allowing the mower to stand more upright. The snaith has either one or two short handles at right angles to it – usually one near the upper end and always another roughly in the middle. A long, curved blade about 60 to 90 centimetres (24 to 35 in)) long is mounted at the lower end, perpendicular to the snaith. Scythes always have the blade projecting from the left side of the snaith when in use, with the edge towards the mower. In principle a left-handed scythe could be made, but it could not be used together with right-handed scythes in a team of mowers, as the left-handed mower would be mowing in the opposite direction.

Finger Knives

You probably know the finger knives from the Freddy Krueger character, because thats where I know them from. Yes the weapon was designed for Freddy.

They are unique, I think in part to do with that it acts as an extension of the wielders own hand. All memorable horror characters have had personalized weapons; Leatherface has a chainsaw, Michel Myers has the Knife and Freddy probably has the most intrinsic tool of terror. The finger blades resemble terrifying teeth closing on its victim.

"One, two, Freddy's coming for you. / Three, four, better lock your door. / Five, six, grab your crucifix. / Seven, eight, gonna stay up late. / Nine, ten, never sleep again."

The Katana

Infamous weapon for the Teenaged Ninja Mutant Turtles, Katanas to me seem like simple cut'em up type weapons but are far from it, it is a very complicated tool. The creation process itself takes months and cannot have any mistakes or else the entire process is in jeopardy. Maintaining a Katana even if you never use it is a chore because the metal can rust and become dull from moisture in the air, the wood can rot if not cared for and the blade once tarnished will be irreplaceable. I think the handling is extremely important because they are delicate and can be damaged if used improperly so dont let the kids play with'em. The Ninja's in movies make Katana handling look effortless but there are a number of sword training disciplines that teach the students how to use a wooden sword long before they are given access to a real sword.
