Does anyone know how to make a six-pointed shuriken(throwing star or ninja star) this should be a nice challenge for anyone tha likes challenges if one does not already exist.

from any shape of the same size preferably but if not its ok and from any number of pieces but i would like to have them interlock

So are you having troubles with Version 1 (4-Point) or Version 2 (8-Point) on this page? And with which step are you having troubles exactly?

use this diagram

There is a nice shuriken by Hideo Komatsu et al which looks exactly like this http://www.ninja-weapons.com/Library/We ... gami.shtml , but is made with a single square sheet of paper using the iso-area technique. Its diagram is availabe in Origami Tanteidan Convention #9.

Edited: Fixed link, it´s the same as the one in the post above.

That's strange, it worked for me....

the star was not one piece though.

on http://www.ninja-weapons.com/Library/We ... gami.shtml its the second one(takes 8 pieces) i dont understand how they get the pieces like that i dont understand how to have one point pointing one way and the other point pointing the other way

grmpf!
It´s really annoying to read the same text over and over again.
Christian and Alexandre, you two are meant.
