If anyone had asked me a few days 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 two swords seem to be highly 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 values.
The samurai warriors were entrusted with defending 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 band of warriors that were highly feared, these fighters were perfectionists in deception and imitation and their swords matched the virtues of their owners. Whilst Samurai swords were weapons which were valued and treated as valuables the Ninjas considered their swords to be useful and disposable.
