The Cold Steel Battle Star is quite possibly the largest production throwing star ever offered! The product of years of refinement, numerous design iterations and countless hours of throwing, it is truly a unique throwing implement. Its huge spikes are almost 4 inches long and 2 inches wide at the base, tapering to fine but sturdy points that penetrate even tough materials with relative ease. The Battle Star is very intuitive to use, quick to learn and a pleasure to master. Big and strong enough to be thrown with force, it hits as hard as a heavy duty throwing knife, but it is balanced and accurate enough to hit with precision as well as strength. Whether being used for sport throwing, competition, recreation, hunting or even self-defense the Battle Star delivers. shuriken (Japanese 手裏剣; literally: “sword hidden in user’s hand”) is a traditional Japanese concealed weapon that was generally used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing or slashing.[1] 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 is the name given to any small-bladed object, while shaken is traditionally used to indicate the well-known “throwing star”.

Shuriken are commonly known in the West as throwing stars or ninja stars although they were originally designed in many different shapes. The major varieties of shuriken are the bō shuriken (棒手裏剣, stick shuriken) and the hira shuriken (平手裏剣, flat shuriken) or shaken (車剣, also read as kurumaken, wheel shuriken).

Shuriken were supplementary weapons to the sword or various other weapons in a samurai warrior’s arsenal, although they often had an important tactical effect in battle.[2] The art of wielding the shuriken is known as shurikenjutsu and was taught as a minor part of the martial arts curriculum of many famous schools, such as Yagyū Shinkage-ryū, Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū, Ittō-ryū, Kukishin-ryū, and Togakure-ryū.
