Anyone know how to make kakute?

A kakute is a spiked ring used for hitting pressure points, one of many hidden Ninja weapons.

Code: Select all

Anyone know a cheap & easy way of making one? I suppose you could probably carve them out of hardwood with a knife, or just weld spikes onto an ordinary ring if you have the skill & resources to do so.

Do you have drill presses or any machining tools at your disposal? Even a dremel.

They make brass curtain hangers that can be worn as rings and have prongs coming off of them. With some shaping, those would work.
Knowledge alone is not power, it is the potential for power. That potential can only be unlocked through applying that knowledge and realizing the skill.

I have no power tools of any kind. I do have about 5 small plates of sheet metal I stole from a construction site, I was thinking (if I could get some metal shears or something) I could cut out identical designs from each sheet and superglue/somehow attach them together.

I'll try the curtain hangar method as well, though.
