Ancient Samurai Weapons
Let’s take a look at the different types of samurai swords.The most famous of weapons are the Japanese Samurai swords, also called 'the soul of the Samurai'.
These Japanese Samurai swords were called Katana. They were long swords (average length - 70cm) that were moved back and forth in a cutting movement that easily sliced limbs. Remember the deadly scene in the movie 'Kill Bill' where Uma Thurman fights by herself a whole gang of Japanese warriors?
She announces to the defeated 'Crazy 88' that they may run off, but they must leave behind their detached limbs, which belong to her now.
The long sword was so sharp that it could easily cut a man in two, even through his armor.
These deadly tools struck terror into the hearts of the enemy and the farmers which were inferior to the Samurai.
The Japanese warriors stuck them in their belt, on the left hand side, so they could be reached and put into use in a split second.
