About the Jitte
A professional law-enforcement weapon. Designed for non-lethal takedowns, it has a sword-catcher guard that gives an advantage when defending. The smaller 1-handed version makes a good sidearm and has an advantage in tight indoor situations.In-game description
Blunt weapons mostly deal stun damage, which heals without a first aid kit — useful when you want a target alive. Source: Kenshi Wiki
