Straight Blade Sword

In Japan, before the 9th century, there was a straight-blade Japanese sword called the chokuto. In the middle of the Heian period, it was replaced by the now common Japanese samurai sword, of which only the ninja sword is still a straight sword. But in China or European countries, most swords are still straight blades.

Straight-Blade Japanese Katana Sword For Sale

The straight-blade sword is a unique and fascinating weapon that contrasts with the traditional curved blade of the real katana. While most samurai swords, including the iconic katana and wakizashi, feature a distinctive curve designed for powerful cutting techniques, the straight-blade sword offers a different approach to combat and craftsmanship. In feudal Japan, these blades were often used in certain martial arts practices and were valued for their precision in thrusting.

A single-edged design, similar to that of ninja weapons, makes the straight-blade sword highly effective for quick, direct strikes. The straight-blade sword is sometimes referred to by its ninja sword name, reflecting its association with the stealth and agility of the ninja. Though it lacks the curve of the katana, its flat surface offers a unique aesthetic, turning the blade into a work of art. The surface of the blade is often meticulously polished to reflect the skill of the forge, adding to the overall high quality of the sword. Whether as part of a collection, a martial artist’s tool, or as a type of sword used in practice, the straight-blade sword remains a highly respected weapon.

For those looking to buy a katana or expand their collection with something different, the straight-blade sword is an intriguing option. Available as part of the wide variety of Japanese katana swords for sale, this blade offers a perfect blend of history, functionality, and artistry, making it a great choice for both collectors and martial artists alike.
