Real Swords

  The katana is a Japanese weapon that has been in use since at least the 12th century. It is made of a sharpened blade housed in a rectangular hilt, with the blade affixed to the grip by means of two rivets. The resulting weapon is very lightweight and easy to handle; its tsuba (guard) protects the hand and prevents slipping of the sword from the fingers. The tsuka (handguard) is usually of wood, but may also be made from metal and is often decorated. The katana has two distinct forms: the standard sugata (teburasugata) and the suburasugata. Both types are distinguished primarily by their length; the sugata is slightly longer than the suburasugata. The former type was used by almost all military units, while the latter type was mostly wielded by officers and nobles. Jōdo Shinshū, a major school of Japanese Buddhism, was founded in 1223 by Shinran. Despite the fact that his school is no longer part of the Buddhist canon, the katana for sale has continued to be used by modern-day Jō...

  The history of samurai swords dates back to the pre-history of Japan. They are traditionally made from high carbon steel, and the original swords were often quite long and narrow with a sharp edge on one side and a dull edge on the other.  These swords were not intended for thrusting attacks but for cutting and slashing techniques. The blades ranged from just over two feet long up to over twenty-four feet in length. Experts estimate that at least 100 different types of sword styles exist within these lengths, making planning difficult for an opponent who might be facing a similar style in combat.

  Historically, real swords have been used since the 3300 BC. With a sword, you can see and feel the edge of the blade along with the length and weight of the weapon.  Real swords are made up of three basic parts: the point which touches an opponent's body during battle, the edge, which is the point at which force is transferred from the arm to the opponent's body, and the blade which leads to the delivery of force. Unlike steel rails, wooden planks, or metal rods, which can be used as improvised weapons in desperate situations (e.g. steel rails, wooden planks, metal rods), real swords are specifically created to cause serious physical harm or death. From the short swords of the early Iron Age to the long zanbato of premodern times, sword size and shape have been widely varied across cultures and throughout history.

Today's swords can be as big as 8 feet long! The use of swords declined for a while. Now they're mostly used for Olympic sports like fencing and combat sports like jousting.  Today's swords can trace their origins to the Indian chakram, which was a curved stone, often decorated with metal. A sword with a small blade was also used by Semitic tribes from the Middle East. Ancient Assyrians used two blades held together by a cross-piece. The Greeks and Romans also used swords, but not in such large numbers until late in their history.  In Europe after 1000 AD, people began using swords more often for protection during raids and battles. Medieval knights found real swords easier to fight with than wooden ones or spears because they were flexible and therefore easier to wield. People began to see...

It was commonly paired with armor called "dō" to form the samurai class who served as military nobility throughout Japan's history from the Heian period to the 19th century, and beyond.   The other longswords used specifically by samurais were the daisho, which consisted of a smaller paired short sword called a wakizashi and larger paired short sword called a katana.

  A katana is a Japanese sword traditionally used by the samurai class of feudal Japan. In feudal times, the samurai, like all other members of society, carried a tachi or long sword and wore a set of protective armor. With the introduction of firearms to warfare in the sixteenth century and then to Japan in the seventeenth century, warfare changed drastically. Smaller blades became more effective for close-quarter combat for troops on foot who were no longer fighting on horseback.  A sword was still needed for traditional samurai on mounted horseback archery, where the bow and arrow were more effective than firearms.
