Shuriken: A Small, Compact, And Easily Portable Weapon

Shuriken is an ancient Japanese throwing weapon. Sometimes described as "throwing stars", they are typically composed of three parts: the hilt, which is usually made out of metal; the blade, which often has sharp edges on both sides; and sometimes an additional piece called the kabuto that functions as an extension handle. There are many variations in shape and size with each style having its own unique name.
