More from Jason_Canty
Ok So I've been a bit vauge on some 3D things going on. One of the next Projects for 3D items will be a character called Kimiko, she'll be a Kitsune Kunoichi.
Shes being worked on by
kingroaw right now and should be done in a week or so.
Since Kimiko is a Asian styled character (Japanese infact) of coruse she'll have swords... its like Manditory. Now since shes not a Samurai but a Kunoichi (female Ninja) she doesn't have a katana but a Ninja Sword (ninja to). Ninja Swords are distinct weapons. Shorter than the Samurai Sword and has a Straight Blade.
The long sword that the samurai carried was made of high-carbon steel, and took months to make. They were hand made specially for each samurai warrior, taking great care to make a very high quality sword. Each sword was made by a highly trained Black Smith who practiced and studied the art of sword making. The Samurai Warrior truly had the finest swords in Japan. It was so sharp that it could easily cut a man in two, even through their armor. The length of the samurai swords averaged around 26 1/2 to 37 inches.
The ninja sword was considerably shorter, only 24 inches, and the quality of the swords was inferior. The reason for the poorer quality was the way they used the sword as opposed to the way the samurai used theirs. Samurai would swing their sword, severing limbs and slashing at the opponent. Ninja, on the other hand, used the sword more in a stabbing motion, almost like a spear. To use the blade of the ninja sword effectively you would have to use a sawing motion when the blade came in contact with the opponents flesh. The straight blade made them weaker but easier to make. The Ninja class was not a respected social group in Japan. They were an underground society who did not work with the best commercial weapons. They were however highly trained guerilla warriors and used every weapon in the book.
More to come soon.
And if you already have poser or Daz 3D you can get my current offering of 3D characters here: http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?vendor=JasonCanty&AID=104

Although the ninja sword was smaller and poorer quality, it had many uses. The scabbard for instance was made longer than the sword, about 3 to 4 inches longer. At the end of the scabbard there was a hidden compartment that was used to hide small weapons such as spikes, daggers or small amounts of poisons.
Another use the sword had was that it could act as a small step by jamming the blade into the ground (or Tree), the ninja could use the hand-guard as a step to get that extra height needed to scale a wall. Because the blade was not very sharp, the ninja could also use it as a hammer by holding onto the blade (carefully) and hitting with the handle. Also it was common to have the tip of the scabbard come off so it could be used as a snorkel.

I too Astrophysics in School as my Major, but Japanese history, culture, litt, and language where my minor (I bomed the Language part so I couldn't fullfill the Japanese Minor at my university. I can read and understand Japanese, just not speak it well).
And wiht all this.. I am a broke former Nutrition Teacher, working at a Bread factory, and going even more broke by supporting a money draining Comic book company because I'm a moron who likes to help friends. XD
