Samurais were different

I have always wondered what the difference is between a ninja sword and a japanese samurai sword, so I decided to carry out a bit of research on both and finally solve the mystery.

Both of these weapons have seen a resurgence in popularity, capturing the imagination of sword collectors and oriental enthusiasts alike.

These weapons represent an entire culture and civilization but the owners that wielded these weapons have very different morals and values.

The samurai fighters were entrusted with defending the royal family, which made them very respected in their community. These individuals lived on a strict code of honor, valor, pride and respect which made them an elite fighting force.

The ninjas however were a band of fighters that were highly feared, these fighters were perfectionists in deception and imitation and their weapons matched the virtues of their owners. Whilst Samurai swords were weapons which were feared and treated as valuables the Ninjas considered their weapons to be useful and disposable.
