Legend
While samurais had great ornate katanas, full of stories and renowned by all, it was absolutely illogical that ninjas use the same swords. However, as they wished to use the high quality of these blades, they had forged similar weapons, but simpler in design. This way, no one would recognize them in the city, and letting go of them in a risky escape would not bring dishonor on their family. These weapons were so efficient that they did not change for hundreds of years. Still today, some keep as treasures on of these swords, symbol of a lost era.
