Katanas

The katana is a Japanese sword with a length of more than 60 cm. But generally, the term katana is used to designate all the Japanese swords, even if in reality there is a real difference between each of its blades and the denominations are various. 

In reality, the term "nihonto" refers to all the Japanese swords made according to the specific Japanese technique. The term "nihonto" includes all the swords such as: katana, tachi, wakizashi, tanto, naginata, nagamaki and yari.

The most popular Japanese swords are the katana and the wakizashi which differs from the katana in size. The wakizashi is smaller than the katana. 

Many brands of industrial cutlery are specialized in the production of katanas. Cold Steel whose quality/use ratio is very good offers many pieces of katana. Böker Magnum is also a great specialist of these blades.
