Tips For Choosing a Japanese Ninja Samurai Sword
Elegant Japanese Samurai swords are living artifacts. Widely used as early as the 1400’s a well made Samurai sword was the mark of a Japanese warrior.
In these modern times these exquisite swords are primarily purchased by collectors and weaponry enthusiasts. Advanced martial artists also use the weapons for training purposes refining their dexterity and swordsmanship with careful practice.
Before you purchase your Japanese Samurai sword there are some things you should know. Here are some tips for choosing a Samurai sword.
Samurai Sword Styles:
Samurai sword styles can be categorized in a couple of main classifications. While assembly and embellishments can vary according to the artists, there are some basic characteristics that make each sword fit a particular category. We’ve broken these down for you to give you the best tips for choosing a Samurai sword.
The Katana:
The more traditional and most commonly used sword is the Katana. A Katana has a long curved blade. The handle or Tsuka is usually 1/3 the length of the blade. The Katana’s blade is sharp on one side with a chiseled tip.
The Katana comes with a scabbard that can match a highly embellished blade handle. The Katana was used in single combat and was meant to be used alone. There is another sword that is similar to the katana. It is called tachi. A Tachi sword is slightly longer than the Katana and a bit more difficult to use.
Katana can be stored in their scabbard but many people like displaying the sword and scabbard separately on a display stand. When choosing a Katana sword pay attention to the detail. Although it’s a curved blade, it should be smooth. The center of the blade is supposed to be the thickest. A Katana sword is a wonderful display sword. A real conversation piece!
The Wakizashi:
The Wakizashi is slightly shorter than the Katana but longer than a Tanto sword. Wakizashi swords can be used in pairs, one for each hand. This sword has a dark history and is often referred to as the honor sword. While the blade is shorter than the Katana’s it is still curved with a chiseled tip.
The Wakizashi will often have a family name embossed on the blade and it was traditional to hand the weapon down from generation to generation. This sword is also lovely for display along side it’s scabbard.
The Tanto:
This dagger type sword was the everyday sword of the Japanese warrior. The Tanto could be hidden in robes or tucked away in a belt. The Tanto has a shorter grip and blade.
It comes with a scabbard and was passed down generationally. For a complete Samurai collection a sword lover should have one of each, a Katana, a Wakizashi and the Tanto.
A Samurai sword buyer should look at two main things when purchasing their sword. The blade is the first. It should be well made, solidly so. It should be proportionally made too. The next area to look is the edge. Is it well tempered without chinks or flaws? Paying attention to these areas will assure you a well made sword.
