    I've seen and made real ones with any number of blades, including one.
IIRC, shuriken is any throwing blade. A more proper term might be shuriken
star. there is another term that I can't call to mind right now that means a
held blade that is not a sword.

    That said, I think the name and the web-site shows that this is not a
weapon, but a stylized star.
