"Techi Jitte Tetsuji Jitte" refers to a type of Jitte whose main body is made of iron, unlike a regular Jitte. Typical jitte are generally made of wood or bamboo, but as the name suggests, ``Techi jitte Tetsuji jitte'' is made of iron. This variant is typically designed for martial arts or self-defense, and is made for striking and restraining purposes. Jitte is a traditional Japanese weapon used mainly by samurai and police officers since the Edo period. Also called "tonfa" or "tontō" in English. A jitte has a thick handle with a short horizontal bar attached to one side. It was used for attack, defense, and capturing enemy weapons. Samurai often carry jitte as part of Bushido, and police officers used jitte as weapons during the Edo period.
