Jitte Japanese Sword by Hanwei

Our Jitte (OH2052) is now available for the jiujutsu practitioner. Carried by the police in old Japan, the jitte was a versatile weapon that could be used to attack the neck and head of an opponent, but its primary use was a sword catcher and deflector. There are many stories of jittejutsu “masters” snapping katana blades or disarming their owners. The Jitte features a 10 3/4 inch round-section steel rod and a leather wrapped grip with a finger-width blade trapper.
