Kama

Kama

A kama was a farming implement similar to a sickle or a very small scythe, used for reaping crops, and also used at times as a peasant weapon. It was reputed to be a favorite weapon of the ninja. They were usually made of a short shaft of wood no more than two feet in length with a slightly-curved tapering blade extending from the top of the shaft at a right angle. The blade was generally sharpened on the inside of the curve only. Those who wielded kama in combat often use them in pairs. The Yoritomo family adopted them as their official weapon. Even the Mantis Clan Champion generally carried a matched set of kama.
