Quote HistoryQuoted: Not if you actually know how to use them. They are weapon/limb catchers, so, if you know how to use a Sai properly, you can catch a weapon/limb, lock it up, then counter attack. You don’t stab with them; the hilts are used for punching. Think of them as a Main Gauche in each hand that can be used offensively. wow an intelligent informed post |

Back in my teens and 20's I used to practice with them. I was about 80% at hitting a plying card @ 30ft.
Also once you learn one of the proper methods to throw you can penetrate right through hollow core doors and embed in the far wall/surface. Of the tonki I also found the bag which the bottom releases and drops a dozen sharpened kaltrops to be cruelly effective. Sandals, flip flops, deck shoes, "tennis shoes", "basketball shoes", and most running/track shoes would offer no safe protection. After I had the option to CCW, all that went into a box long forgotten. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They are illegal in CA  Part of the same comprehensive Ninja control scheme that also banned nunchucks, saps and spiked gloves. Fun fact, the throwing technique for the stick shuriken also works with certain sized construction stakes. The more you know... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I always considered them a more reliable throwing knife. Someone brought up Asian martial arts, you folks should really check out the HEMA guys. The knights were no slouches in the martial combat arena, and not just aimlessly bashing each other with pointy metal. Yup, actually a lot of fun and a good workout |

When I was a kid, my neighbor friend's dad had a full shop, so by the age of 10, we could both run a mill and lathe, were pretty good with a cutting torch, and decent welders, though most of our "projects" were done in secret while our parents were at work.
One summer after TMNT came out, we made the full arsenal. The throwing stars were the straw that broke the camel's back though...so we were banned from making "ninja" weapons. Apparently that included black powder cannons as well... |

RMJ made some nice ones
https://www.monkeyedge.com/RMJ-Tactical-Snowflake-p/rmj0165.htm I'll agree that throwing stars are mostly useless however, SAI can be quite deadly and very effective against other handheld (non firearm) weapons. If you know how to properly use them |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, but when you are 16, they are as fun as all get out. I've still got mine in a box at my parents house. I need to get them. I assumed you were talking about girls at first. And then I realized that ninja stars and girls are probably mutually exclusive hobbies at the age of 16.
