My dad was a "computer ninja." He served in the US Army's 160th SOAR back in the 1990s before the UAVs were implemented. I think most of his job got replaced by computer systems, but he did jump out of aircraft a few times to set up a network bug in 3rd world countries such as Somalia. Really cool stuff even back then.

Cool review. Another reason "ninja swords" look the way they do: like you mentioned pop culture and kabuki theatre were the way the legend of the ninja was spread, I've heard it said in the past that the swords the ninja used on stage were short and straight because they were easy to produce. The size may also be to theatrically pull from the back, rather than have any sort of function. There you go, pop culture does it again!

You have to understand that word. 七星剣 Shichiseiken, this sword would have influenced the Shinobi, who may have been Buddhist and may have attached Mystical Powers using this design.

Nice video, but I find the idea that the historical basis of this sword to be hand-me-down chokuto to be a bit of a stretch. We are talking about a roughly thousand year gap between when the chokuto was phased out and the warring states period in which the ninja were most active in Japanese history. You suggested that peasants would have kept swords, but peasants didn't exactly have the luxury to just hang on to a sword like that. More likely they would have used it as a tool or scrapped it to use the metal to make tools of their trade. To my knowledge, the only swords that even ressembled the sword you showed in your video are hypotheized to have been modified naginata blades that were refitted to be used as swords towards the end of the warring states period.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with both of these swords and they each came with a copy of The Kouga Ninja Scrolls (English translation).

13:15 “this thing is just a big dagger”. Well you have to remember, ninja were masters at deception. So the ninjato was basically a short sword in a long scabbard. That way IF they had to fight, they could get up close, be quicker on the draw, and take out there opponents in one strike. Shorter blade, faster kill.
