Form

A kunaï normally has a blade in the shape of sheet and a handle with a ring on the pommel to attach a cord.

Origins

A kunaï is an ancient kind of trowel, invented during the era of Tensho of the Japan. The kunaï was normally manufactured in Fer cheap forged and nonpolished. The blade was not sharpened, because its edges were employed to break the plaster and wood, to dig holes and to raise. The kunaï was employed by the common peoples as a tool of universal Jardinage and by masons stone and Maçon S.
