Lot 1571:
Large Honshu 1065 High Carbon Steel Throwing Star Set with 4-Piece Ninja Star Collection
Description
This lot features a comprehensive collection of contemporary throwing stars, including two large Honshu branded shuriken and multiple 4-piece retail sets. The two large four-point stars are constructed of 1065 high carbon steel with a sleek black finish and silver-tone sharpened edges, featuring four circular aerodynamic notches. Each large star bears a white printed center mark reading “本州”, “Honshu ®”, “UNITED ®”, “UC3143”, “1065 HIGH CARBON STEEL”, and “CHINA”. Accompanying these are three retail boxes labeled “4-PIECE NINJA STARS” containing an assortment of designs, including four-point split blade, five-point split blade, six-point, and notched four-point cross styles. The collection includes dedicated black nylon carrying cases: two large zippered or hook-and-loop pouches for the Honshu stars and one smaller folding snap-closure pouch for the multi-piece sets.
Condition report:
The items are in functional, used condition. The Honshu stars show minor finish wear along the sharpened edges (photo 4 and 5). The loose stars from the 4-piece sets exhibit more significant wear to the black coating at the tips and edges, consistent with throwing use (photo 3). The nylon cases show some minor fraying and collected lint (photo 1). The retail boxes display shelf wear, including creased edges and softened corners (photo 2).
