Jittes are blunt swords.
Making them the most redundant thing ever. It's like saying, "Oh, hey, let's build a house and
not build a roof!"
Seriously? How... who... why... What is the purpose of a
blunt sword!? The idiocy that would be required to even consider the mere existence of such a thing boggles my mind! Why!? Why does it exist!?
For training, you say? Use a training sword. Don't make a
blunt sword and call it a decent weapon! It's a sodding
BLUNT SWORD. You'd be better off using a pointy warhammer! At least that has a decent amount of force behind it!
Maybe, then, there is a time when jittes are useful. Like when you want to stab someone but not hurt the- OH RIGHT! TRAINING SWORDS!!
If anyone, ever, thought jittes were a good idea, I laugh at them.

OK, that's my rant for the day. You seen those warriors from the forest retreat? They've got blunt swords. Blunt. Swords.
