Selecting the Best Shuriken or Throwing Star
Shuriken is the word given to traditional Japanese concealed hand weapons, generally used for throwing, stabbing, or slashing with their razor-sharp blades and multiple piercing points. Modern day throwing stars, ninja stars, etc., are most often made in this traditional Japanese design and have evolved to become even more fierce and effective. Whether you are a ninja, master knife thrower, or simply a beginner, these unique and exclusive throwing star designs will get your attention.

It's crafted of one solid piece of black oxide-coated 1065 high carbon steel that is perfectly balanced. No matter what you’re throwing this thing at, it will prove effective! Another convenient feature of this star is its nylon storage sheath. It’s both functional and protective, so you can transport the star easily and safely.
