Kunai

Kunai as seen in Final Fantasy V.

The ninja knows that a blade may make a passing good ladder, key, or splint; yet he also knows that it is best used for killing.

Kunai (くない, Kunai?), also known as Ninja Knife, Imperial, Short and Short Knife, is a recurring weapon in the series. It is often a low-rank dagger or ninja dagger with no special properties, though it can be used by several characters and jobs most of the time.

Etymology

Kunai are a Japanese bladed weapon associated with ninja and likely derived from the equivalent of a gardening trowel. They are short, leaf-shaped blades with ring pommels that provide a multitude of uses, such as a grip or tying them to the body. As weapons, they were primarily used for melee combat and to dig holes in walls and floors, but can also be used as throwing weapons.
