How many types of katanas are there?

1. Standard Katana (Daito): The most common form of katana, with a curved blade between 60 and 90 cm.

2. Wakizashi: A shorter katana, with a blade between 30 and 60 cm. It was used as a secondary weapon alongside the katana.

3. Tanto: A large knife or dagger, with a blade less than 30 cm long. It was used as a support weapon or for hand-to-hand combat.

4. Tachi: Similar to the katana, but with a different mount to be worn at the waist with the blade facing down. It was used mainly by cavalry.

5. Odachi: A large katana, with a blade of over 90 cm. It was used as a ceremonial weapon or to fight against enemies with heavy armor.

6. Ninjato: A type of katana that is associated with ninjas, although there is no historical evidence that they used it. It has a shorter, straighter blade than the standard katana.

7. Shirasaya: A plain katana with the blade kept in a wooden sheath. It is used for iaido (sword drawing) practice or as a decorative object.

8. Bokken: A wooden training sword used for kendo practice.

9. Iaito: A blunt sword used for iaido practice.

  • PierluigiExcellent product; shipping was also very fast. Although it was being sent to Italy, customs unfortunately damaged the package (only the packaging—the item itself was perfectly intact), but that is not the fault of "Espadas y Más." I recommend them 100% and will definitely make more purchases from them in the future.
