improved bo shuriken

ok first, i am only being more creative with littlemog92s bo shuriken instructable.
no comments from you losers who think i am copying!

holy crap! littlemog92 took off all his instructables!

Step 1 Cut to length

first, get some 3/8" metal dowel, and cut it to about 6"-8" depending on the size of your hand.

any more wallet friendly ways, since i cannot afford a bench grinder or know anyone who would let me use it. would a metal file work? i have a course and a fine one. i know that might take a while, but i can be very patient. if i use the course one to make the general point, would i be able to make it sharp with the fine file?

[black hole]

Yeah, a file would work. it might speed things up to use a torch to heat the tip and then file it (metal is softer when it's hot). I got a torch from walmart for 15 bucks. Also, bench grinders aren't terribly expensive. Mine cost $50 and it works fine.

this step was not very helpful. i would be very grateful if you added some steps to this, part with the tassel. i only see string twisted around and i can not tell hot it is attached i see no knots. so if you can add steps to this i would much appreciate it.

for those who don't watch naruto!? are you serious that is not a reliable source my friend, senbons are for silent killing, like a garrot wire. It is held horezontily between the thumb and fore-finger and is pushed into the juggler in a fast motion.

well often ninjas would tip in in some sort off poison or bury it in mud to make it rust and cause, i cant remmember what but it is a fatal infection, and also sometime bury it in 5H!T for infection, wich most infections killed back then.

dude, have you read ANY of these other comments?

[hulma]

a good bo-Shurkin is tanto pointed on four sides, those in a properly trained hand (not as shown above) can do serious damage play safe boys. and in intrest of my crediblity i am 8 years trained in Ninjitsu and Naruto is an insult to my art (but i love the show all the same!)

[MubiKun]

OMG IN STEP 2 THAT THING THATS HOLDING THE NEEDLE... I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME THING XDDD

[Pumpkin$]

are'nt Bo shuriken more stake like?

[naruto 777]

these look like senbons ( the jap needle things for you people who dont watch naruto) but the senbon are thinner and are sharpened on both sides, senbon are also commonly used as actupuncture tools and as some ninja would do is dip them in posin so the needles would be fatal........... wow that was quite a bit of writing...... for me anyway im 13

[naruto 777]

ohhhhhh one more thing fome me, sometimes senbons can be 1 sided, so i can see why some people think these are senbons

[koax]

well I like this show and im 17 (and not a nerd, fatty guy or whatever you want ) so if you dont like just dont say nothing

[naruto 777]

dude people like that show including me and if you have a problem you can go suck your butt along with everybody else i hate. and the music is NOT elevator music smart one

[UltraMagnus]

naruto isn't a terrible show, but it really does not have much to do with real ninja at all.... which is pretty much standard for most anime, great entertainment.... just about as realistic as..... well, giant robots with beam cannons! these are shuriken, just a different variety to the hira shuriken or shaken that the mass media seems to have brainwashed people into believing they are, when in fact hira shuriken were used by far fewer schools than normal bo shuriken

[Jais1993]

Don't watch the show, read the anime! SERIOUSLY!

[corey_caffeine]

manga?

[Jais1993]

Yea, that's what I meant... Read the MANGA!

[snipeyouout]

but shuriken are in a star formation and senbon are in a needle formation and this instructable sure looks like a needle

[N1njaBoy]

its called a BO SHURIKEN hello!

[KillaGorilla]

yea but a bo-shuriken aren't normal shurikens these r bo shurikens =P

[dunnos]

bo- shuriken are actually the original ones

[bedbugg2]

they are bo shuriken, bo shuriken are the kind of needle-dart ones and ordinary shuriken are the star ones

[cheesy soda]

[deanlerd]

[macca4life]

[mas9779]

throw them anyone can see that. he said to change it to your HAND size. and if you can speak it you should know the meaning of shuriken

[macca4life]

ok but if you look they are thin so you could use them as a dart ok

[mas9779]

yes, but thats not what you where confused about

[care-bear-elite]

[snipeyouout]

[bedbugg2]
