Bo-Shuriken Throwing Spike Set

Bo-Shuriken Throwing Spike Set with Tactical Forearm Sheath

A Tool for Precision and Focus

These shurikens are made from forged carbon steel, giving them the necessary durability for repeated throws. Their shape is designed to slide smoothly from the palm when the correct technique is used. The handle features an anti-slip rubber grip with a spiral texture that mimics traditional cord wrapping. This ensures a firm and secure hold even when your palms are sweaty. The spikes are single-pointed, designed to stick into soft targets.

A key component of the set is the tactical forearm sheath. It is made of durable nylon and attaches to the arm using elastic straps. The spikes sit firmly inside and are ready for immediate deployment, which you will especially appreciate during stage combat or cosplay photoshoots.

Historical Insight: More Than Just an Assassin's Weapon

In popular culture, shurikens are often depicted as lethal weapons that instantly eliminate an enemy. However, historical reality was more pragmatic. Bo-shurikens served primarily as a secondary weapon for Samurai (not just Ninjas). They were often used for distraction or to create a moment of surprise (known as metsubushi), allowing the warrior to close the distance and use their main weapon, such as a sword or spear. Targets typically included exposed body parts like the eyes, face, or the backs of the hands.

Maintenance and Safety

To ensure the spikes serve you well for a long time, they require proper care:

• Corrosion Protection: Since they are made of carbon steel, they are prone to rust. Clean and dry the spikes after every use and apply a light coat of oil (e.g., gun oil or WD-40).
• Storage: Do not leave the spikes in the sheath for extended periods when not in use to avoid moisture buildup.

Warning: Although these are replicas intended for training, the spikes are sharp and can cause serious injury. Never throw at people or animals! Use them only in designated areas or safe locations against suitable targets (softwood, foam targets). Throwing at hard materials (stone, concrete) poses a risk of dangerous ricochets or breakage.

For safe practice, we recommend purchasing a suitable soft target board.
