Description

The Ninja Blade is the shortest and lightest Katana variant. Due to its relatively short reach, it is the preferred weapon of thieves and assassins, but does not work well in an outnumbered battle. It also gains a decent bonus when used by inexperienced warriors, dealing increased damage.

Trivia

  • Based on Ninjato (忍者刀/Ninjatō) which is a never confirmed katana like sword legendarily used by ninja of feudal Japan portrayed in movies and television.
  • Formerly named as Katana-Straight in earlier game version. In real-life, ninjato seems to be a different blade type from katana.
  • The ninjato is reputed to be a multi-function tool, including the scabbard which is made longer than the blade to hide things, or to reputedly mislead opponents which will be surprised by the faster drawing of the short blade. It scabbard is said to be even be used as a "breathing straw" when underwater.
