	*'''Tekkan''':The Tekkan or "iron sword" (Tetsu-ken/tetto) is a Japanese weapon, used during the Edo period until the beginning of the 20th Century.This weapon was an iron truncheon, and could closely resemble a wakizashi sized sword with a blunt iron blade or they could be a cast iron version of a hachiwari (hachiwara).

	*'''Jutte''':The jutte or jitte, literally meaning "ten-hand" (i.e., the weapon with the power of ten hands), is a specialized weapon. It's common use is to hook into clothing or parts of the body like the nose or mouth, or to push into joints or other weak points on the body. It also could be used to hook the thumb while holding the weapon backwards, to allow different techniques such as punches and blocks, very similarly to a sai. The jutte can also be used in much the same manner as other short sticks or batons, to strike large muscle groups and aid in joint manipulation. A popular misconception is that the kagi (the hook) is used to catch a sword. It could possibly be used for this purpose, but the kagi's proximity to the hand would make it rather dangerous. When faced with a swordsman, a more likely use for the kagi would be to capture and arrest the blade after blocking it with the boshin.
