![]() Let's not forget war fans (tessen)! These weapons could be used folded as a club (each spine is solid iron/steel), or stabbing weapon (sometimes pointed spines). Also they could be used defensively to block a sword or small (non-gun) projectiles such as arrows or thrown knives when unfolded (similar to a buckler).

Quote:
Allow me to introduce the Kabuto Wari (Helmet Breaker). Armorsmiths in the edo period prided themselves on being able to make helmets that katana could not cut, and a swordsmith was tasked with creating a blade that could, upon pain of hara-kiri; the result was a heavy blade that didn't look like much, but could cut through a heavy steel helmet at close range: [You must be logged in to view images.
