2 comments about Ninja Ashiko Foot Spikes (pair).
- Usually used in tandem with "Tiger Claw" hand spikes, Ashiko [or just "foot spikes"] are a complimentary tool for scaling malliable surfaces [such as wood or clay structures]. I specifically do not mention "rock castle walls" as the devises do not dig into hard stone like they would "softer" elements- the ashiko's basic design requires the wearer to place their feet at an awkward 45 degree angle that is incredibly tough to maintain for any real length of climbing time!
These reproductions utalize a "U" shaped metal band that incorporates cord and spikes to hold the instrument to the foot- the difficult part being that the way they are to be tied on to remain in place can be confusing or impossible if the correct footwear isn't utilized.
Case in point- the ashiko has holes on either side of them for the twine or cord to loop through, the cord at that point is crossed behind the heel, laced at least once around the base of the leg and then crossed over the instep and then laced past the large and median toes; from there under the foot/ashiko, crossed back over the foot and tied much like a sneaker.
Notice that you have to cross through your toes? That means Tabi- the split toed boots specialized by the Shinobi [Ninja- though it was common for Samurai to use these as well] were an integrated part of the tool as well! Idoubt someone will want to split a good pair of shoes to make this possible, so one can already see one problem that develops with the use of this particular tool...
Now-a-days, it's possible to get special leggings that are used by telephone and electrical repair crews that are far more sturdy and do not require specialized shoes- that in and of themselves require a "learning curve" to become used to Tabi.
In this instance, ashiko are an incredible learning tool for the aspirant ninja pupil to learn and understand how strong and resiliant the Shinobi warriors of their time had to be! Understand this as well, once tied on, stealth is "right out the door"- one would do better with tap shoes!
If one were to create a better version of this one might consider a "raptor claw" approach that allows an aspirant to hold the tree or post with his/her inner leg strength as opposed to trying to hold their weight off the odd angle required by the ashiko's spike angle!
As a learning tool and a piece of contemporized history, these are a wonderful "artifact", but as a practical tool- sadly, their time has come and gone.
- You have to realize the weather and the part of Japan that these originated in. This tool was used to steady one's self on ice and wet,slippery footing. Ive used them and they work. They were made for the country and outdoors; not modern suburbs and cities. The Japan of yesteryear was not a modern country. So, the cities were still hard dirt in most area's and cobble stone in other parts.

1 comments about 4 pc Traditional Black Samurai Style Sword Set with dragon design.
- When the package arrived, it looked as if traffic ran it over various amounts of times. Which would explain all the dents, marks, and scratches all over the swords. But they weren't too bad, you can't notice them from afar. However, I was displeased with the fact that I only recieved 3 swords, and the advertisement said it would come with four. Overall, I was okay with my product. Had pretty fast shipment, just wished they took better care of it on the way here =\

5 comments about Ninja Utility Belt.
- i is a very good product. the pouches are fake leathery type material instead of sewn stuff, which was a pleasant surprise. the buckle is sound, and the belt itself is of good quality. the puches shift around a bit, but you can take them off, arrange them how you want, and sew them in place in under five minutes. i took off the smallest pouch to put my sword there. IN MY EYES the only downer is that the velcro (whilst good and strong) is too noisy to be truly stealthy. replacing it with magnetic holds was time consuming, but worth it. overall, good stuff.
- The velcro is a bit problematic. It is way too loud and also can cause the belt to frey. The pouches also slide around unless you use the placement straps, and even those only help to a certain extent.
Overall, though, the belt is exactly what I was looking for. Sturdy, no risk of things falling out, and easy to adjust. Just a few changes to the make of it would make it perfect.
- This was part of a gift for my son. He believes that he is a ninja, so the belt completed the outfit.
- This is the cutest utility belt ever. I got it for a friend who acted like a ninja, and now she actually looks like one. Thanks.
Note: know that the pockets of this utility belt are closed by velcro, which if you're creeping in the shadows, or in a air duct, will INFACT get you caught. Just a thought.
- If you actually would like to receive the item you purchased do not buy from this company !
The parcel if you lucky enough for it to even arrive at all will get to you weeks after the promised delivery date and once it actually arrives the documentation is in such disarray as to prevent you from actually claiming it from the post office...
I have to say you guys certainly left an impression on me ! I will never do any form of business with you again !

- These claws are a must have for any ninja fan. Back then ninja's use to use them to climb up trees and rocky walls to complete there missions. They are also referred to as bear claws. They also were used for selfdefense they use to claw and cut there opponents if they didn't have a weapon at hand. some of the most skilled ninja's use to be able to catch a striking razor sharp sword in there hand's thanks to these claws. If your a ninja dont leave home with out them.
- I'm not very happy with these. First off, they are, for obvious reasons, one solid piece of metal so they are not adjustable and the strap that is comes loose quickly. Secondly, being one piece of metal, this device WILL cut into the back of your hand. And finally, the most simple thing to fix, these are not sharp enough to actually secure yourself to a tree. I have the foot spikes with these and ill just burst your bubble now that these things aren't going to work unless you make major modifications to this stuff.
