If anyone had asked me a few weeks ago what the difference between samurai swords and ninja swords I would have honestly not had a clue. The wonders of the internet meant that within ten minutes I had enough information to allow me to find out a little about these marvelous weapons.
These weapons seem to be extremely popular for both sword collectors and oriental enthusiasts alike.
These weapons represent an entire culture and civilization but the owners that wielded these weapons have very different morals and ideas.
The samurai fighters were entrusted with serving the royal family, which made them very feared in their community. These individuals lived on a strict code of honor, valor, pride and respect which made them an elite fighting force.
The ninjas however were a group of warriors that were highly feared, these fighters were perfectionists in deception and imitation and their weapons matched the virtues of their owners. Whilst Samurai swords were weapons which were feared and treated as valuables the Ninjas considered their weapons to be useful and disposable.
