Shuriken (lit: "hand hidden blade") is a traditional Japanese concealed weapon that was generally used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing or slashing an opponent's arteries. They are sharpened hand-held blades made from a variety of everyday items such as needles, nails, and knives, as well as coins, washers, and other flat plates of metal. Shuriken were mainly a supplemental weapon to the more commonly used katana (sword) or yari (spear) in a warrior's arsenal, though they often played a pivotal tactical role in battle. The art of wielding the shuriken is known as shuriken-jutsu, and was mainly taught as a minor, or more correctly, a secret part of the martial arts curriculum of many famous schools, such as Yagyu Ryu, Katori Shinto Ryu, Itto Ryu, Kukishin Ryu, and Togakure Ryu. In the modern western world, shuriken can often be purchased online as collector's items.

Shuriken are commonly known in the west as "Chinese stars," "throwing stars" or "ninja stars." This term hardly does justice to the weapon, however, as the pointed "star" shaped form is but one of many different designs the blades took over the centuries in which they were used.

The major varieties of Shuriken are the bo shuriken and the hira shuriken or shaken (also read as kurumaken)

I know what shuriken are! I 'm just puzzled as to why they're a pound. And shouldn't it be 'all THESE (or THOSE) shuriken for a pound'? It's messing with my head man
