The Samurai wore two swords (daisho). One was long; the other short. The long sword (daito - katana) was
more than 24 inches. The short sword (shoto - wakizashi) was between 12 and 24 inches. The Samurai often
gave names to their swords and believed it was the "soul" of their warriorship. The oldest swords were
straight and had their early design in Korea and China. The Samurai's desire for tougher, sharper swords
for battle gave rise to the curved blade we still have today. The sword had its beginning as iron combined
with carbon. The swordsmith used fire, water, anvil and hammer to shape the world's best swords. After
forging the blade, the sword polisher did his work to prepare the blade for the "furniture" that
surrounded it. Test results were often recorded on the nakago (the metal piece attaching the sword blade
to the handle).
