	Jitte (weapon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although two weapons could conceivably be used for the same purpose, a single fused implement provides a safer means of catching a moving sword or knife.
		The original form of the jitte is traditionally believed to have been created by the legendary swordmaker Masamune; it resembled its name of "ten hands", having that many prongs, and resembling a rake.
		The jitte is the subject of the japanese martial art of Juttejutsu.

	Weapons History
		Official use of the jitte was restricted to police officers of the feudal era, for whom it was a symbol of position.
		It is not surprising, then, considering the importance of this weapon in the eyes of the samurai, that the capacity to read a blade, seeing and knowing the marks that indicate its maker and age, became a highly sophisticated art, requiring special facilities and knowledge, and long experience.
		A common tactic with this weapon was to capture the victim and then to jerk him off his feet or horse, pressing the pole down to pin the neck to the ground.

		Jitte - Also known as a sai, the jitte is a parry weapon.
		The jitte would stop the sword blade, then the blade portion would be thrust into the throat, eyes, or belly of the adversary.
		Used primarily as a parrying weapon, the heavy iron edges were deadly offensive weapons as well.

	Club (weapon) -
		The club is perhaps the simplest of all true weapons; a club is typically carved from a single piece of wood; any piece of wood that is narrow enough on one end to be grasped by the hand of its wielder can be used as or made into an improvised club.
		In the game of Cluedo or Clue, players must specify which weapons a murder was committed with, among choices that include a wrench, a lead pipe, or a candlestick, and as to their purpose—a weapon inflicting trauma—each of these household items serves as a club.
		A fljack (known in British English as a cosh) is a small, easily-concealed weapon consisting of a leather-wrapped lead weight attached to the end of a leather-wrapped coil-spring or rigid shaft, with a lanyard or strap on the end opposite the weight.

		The Sai is a small weapon of oriental orgin which has been added into GemStone with the addition of the Erithian race.
		The sai is a weapon consisting of a shaft with a sharpened point, a grip, and a pair of upswept wings, or prongs, that are simular to a crossguard.
		In GemStone, the defensive nature of the weapon is displayed in the fact that it gives +10 to a character's Defensive Strength when held in the off-hand.

	WDOB.net MAI Shotokan Kata :: Jitte
		The two words Jitte and Jutte are interchangeable, but if the name of the kata is written with the character for technology instead of ten, then Jutte will mean "Technology Hands" or "Technique Hands." Jutte is a homonym that is comprised of the kanji for technique and the kanji for hand.
		There is also some speculation that the kata name refers to the jitte weapon that Japanese police often carried 200 years ago.
		This weapon consisted of a pointed metal rod with a single appendage designed to catch a sword blade if used properly.

		Thus, a missile weapon, a backup weapon, a concealable weapon--these all become weapons of resort, those relied on in an emergency in which the life of the character is so severely threatened that he must fall back on some other attack form.
		If the style includes the use of any weapons (highly recommended), the kensai will include learning every weapon which can be used as part of his mastery of the style (and will probably not waste his time on weapons not included in the style).
		As with any fighter, he may learn weapons which are not from his own milieu; however, since such weapons will not be known to him before the game begins, he will need special approval of the DM to use such a weapon as his dedication.

		Its lack of power and accuracy means that it should only ever be used as a side-arm, but it still serves as a useful back-up weapon should the user need a fast alternative to reloading their primary weapon.
		The ID3 serves as both a primary weapon and a side-arm in some of the load-outs that are geared towards greater fire-power.
		Its high rate of fire gives the weapon a great deal of power, but the difficulty of controlling it on full auto means that it is only practical to use it at short ranges and controlled bursts must be used to counter-act the recoil.

		Q: How does weapon quality work with blunt weapons-the rules state that the weapon is treated as a fine weapon, but that it doesn't get the +1 damage bonus.
		Normal weapons have their normal hit points, but relative weapon quality allows them to be broken by only half that much damage, yes.
		Basically, this is a rule that states that a weapon user with a ready thrusting weapon may elect to stop someone from entering close combat by spitting him upon said weapon.

		The jitte is a traditional Japanese weapon similar to a truncheon, consisting of an iron or other type of metal shaft with a hook attached to the side.
		Primarily a defensive weapon, the jitte's hook is used to catch or deflect blows from a sword.
		The weapon itself is still effective in the hands of a beginner, since the jo stick is so well balanced to deliver hits.

	MTG Salvation - Understanding Kamigawa
		Linking this stuff together, the jitte was speculatively based on the Chinese tesshaku, and it's likely that the jutte was based on the jitte, as the only thing the jutte is really missing is the point (most of those used were blunt) and the wide cross-guard.
		He was known to be skilled with the jitte, however, and there is a drawing of a weapon that could be kind of thought to be a jutte, but the shape was wrong even if the basis was there.
		It's a weapon from the old days of Japan whose popularity wained, whereas the Jutte became super popular (its rise closely linked to the development of the Sai, which is also very popular), or at least insofar as many people know the weapon if not necessarily the correct name for it.

		Unlike the majority of weapons curators who focus exclusively on the hilt and try their hardest to pretend that the sword was never a practical tool, he appreciated the whole sword.
		In this way, a warrior could unveil a weapon that his opponent had never seen, and thus would be unsure as to how to defend against.
		A necessary book for weapons and martial arts enthusiasts, it is also a perfect reference book for writers and readers of ancient Japan, including those interested in Samurai films and comics.

		Here's a modern reproduction of an interesting and unusual weapon - the jitte, a baton with side hook traditionally used by feudal-era Japanese policemen as a sword-catcher disarming weapon.
		In a class-conscious stratified society, you definetly have a problem when your cops are ranked much lower on the social scale than some of the drunken rowdies they need to deal with - such was the case in Japan in the late feudal period.
		The jitte was the main response to "how do you keep "superior" sword weilding members of society from harming your poor low-caste policeman and other folks?

	Jutte
		A single hook or fork, called a kagi, on the side near the handle allowed the jutte to be used for trapping or even breaking the blades of edged weapons, as well as for jabbing or striking.
		One popular idea is that the jutte evolved from a strange battlefield weapon commonly believed to have been designed by Goro Nyudo Masamune, a renowned swordsmith.
		Worn by the samurai warriors like a dirk, hachiwari were probably used as a parrying weapon, held in the left hand while wielding a sword in the right hand, or to pierce through body armor.

		It's probably too slow for any competitive goblin deck, but I guarantee I'll be putting a Jitte on a Sharpshooter in the near future.
		The lack of an initial boost makes it possible for the control player to take a hit or two with the jitte on a creature (before it gets any counters), then wrath away and prevent furthur creatures from hitting play.
		As long as it isn't killing a bunch of your creatures, Jitte is much more managable.

		Primarily applying his experience to his weapon skill (with the Jitte Warrior his weapon skill is always foremost in his mind) and to his Health and Stamina, Tze soon achieved the ability to travel to the inner depths of the Grotto, where few traveled.

		The jitte if i am correct is a samuri style weapon that is a bit bigger than a dagger but shorter than a short-sword.
		The main feature of this bladed weapon though is that it has a blade catching part that sticks out of its handle, if the user is skilled enough an incoming slash can be caught in it, and if the jitte is twisted will buy enough time for the weapon in your other hand to strike.
		Not really sure of names of the smaller weapons, but it'll be 2 smaller blades maybe one blade and a shield for the nimble dude.
