Appraisal[]
Recommendations[]
Short Kunai is the starting Weapon for Shinobi and is quickly replaced by Carving Knife or Short Kunai +1 after completing the Quest The Doomed Clan. It is an early-game Weapon whose +2 and +3 variants aid in slightly increasing Shinobi's Hit!! count by providing a small amount of AGI and CRT, as well as dealing extra damage to enemies of a higher level.
