Hi,
for those of you who are not familiar with it:
Being a swordsman and growing up with the Naruto Anime I always asked myself: would a real Kunai like shown in Naruto be of any use? Sure, Kunais were traditional tools/weapons in ancient Japan, however they looked a bit different from what I found. Unfortunately google picture search is flooded with Naruto Kunais.
Anyway in the Anime those weapons are used for almost everything, like fighting swords, which is nonsense. But I wounder if they would actually be really good throwing weapons.
On that picture its hard to see, but its actually pretty thick and its tip looks a bit like a pyramid, so its not our typical throwing knife with a flat spear head. However this lead me to the conclusion, that the kunais unique form allows for easy no spin throws, similar to darts and that because of its heavy body form it has a push back effect on the target, which a normal throwing knife does not have.
So, what is your opinion on this weapon?
