A jitte, or jutte (Japanese: 十手; the power of ten hands weapon), is a specialized weapon used by law enforcement officers in Edo period Japan. It is about 45cm (18 inches) long with no cutting edge but two prongs designed to catch and snap off an opponent's sword blade. The design itself is said to be derived from the Okinawan sai. A variant on this design was the Marohoshi Jitte.
