Talk:Kunai

message: I always thought it was a weapon. Finding out it's a gardening tool is so crushing.
Kunai normally had a leaf-shaped blade and a handle with a ring on the pommel for attaching a rope. This would allow the kunai to be strapped to a ninja who would throw the weapon at some obstacle then tie the end of the rope with another obstacle and glide across the rope to the next obstacle. I am highly skeptical as to the validity of this statement. 70.20.30.123 02:45, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: But of course everyone is going to assume what the media says.
It seems like it would be a bit impractical as a throwing weapon, to be honest.
Don't get me wrong, though. Considering the far more espionage-oriented objectives and station of the real-world Ninjas of old, it may have been very handy for other purposes. Having a well-forged, well-sharpened one set amongst the rest of one's bric-a-brac could have given one a hidden, but powerful multi-purpose knife.

I'm not sure if they used the text from wikipedia, or if one of this article's contributors used the text from that site.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spacepirate09 (talk • contribs) 04:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Minor Edit

message: I really don't think popularising the idea of kunai as throwing knives had anything to do with Naruto, being as you have the classic modern kunai design and use turning up in things like Revenge of Shinobi that came out two years before it; the account I've always heard was that the modern steel throwing kunai is an invention of the American ninja craze of the 70s-80s (much like the mythical ninjato blade) and came from confusing the kunai and shuriken (with many 80s-90s videogames using the words as if they were interchangeable).

thread_title:  Um... 

message: The article currently states "By attaching a rope to the ring, the user could easily climb walls or trees, which required great accuracy when thrown."
I don't doubt that throwing trees requires the utmost in accuracy (hence the skill involved in the caber toss) but I feel like this sentence may have originally said something else, and it got scrambled. Perhaps someone with more time can go through past edits and see where this throwing-accuracy line originally belonged.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.186.125 (talk) 05:17, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

message: The source for the Kunai as "like a crowbar" is.. Pathfinder. A fantasy RPG game. 
Is there an actual source somewhere?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.182.241.244 (talk) 17:58, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
