They have an open circle in the center, used for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put wire through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapons overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. There are some variations to the normal, four-pronged shuriken, including five-pronged star shuriken and three-pronged shuriken. Other variations include large, four point shurikens that are usually carried on one's back or stored in a scroll.

Many shinobi attack by attaching an exploding tag to the blade. The kunai is usually thrown so that it lodges in an object near the target, and then the explosion from the attached tag destroys the target. They can be used for close combat, like a normal knife.
