Descrição
More difficult to use than the kusarifundo is the kyoketsu shoge. Its name literally means “to run around in the countryside”—the result of some inside joke no one quite remembers. A kyokesu shoge consists of a long rope, usually made of hair, with an iron loop tied to one end and a dagger with an additional sideways barb (resembling the head of a kamayari) tied to the other. The loop can be thrown over hooks or protrusions, and the barbed dagger can be sunk into soft things, allowing the shinobi to scale a wall quickly.
Aside from that, this weapon can be used similarly to a kusari-gama. However, the loop and rope allow for certain difficult maneuvers that the chain of a kusari-gama does not. For example, if the loop is thrown over the blade of a sword or spear, or grabbed by a foe, a well-practiced kyoketsu shoge wielder can snap the rope to send a wave along its length, entangling the offender’s hand or weapon in a square knot.
