Japanese samurai knives are usually smaller than Japanese swords, such as the katana or wakizashi, and are designed for handling in small spaces. The most famous Japanese traditional knives are tanto, which usually measure less than 30 cm, and aikuchi, which are traditionally without a guard and have a handle almost as long as the blade. Other Japanese knives include, for example, karambit, higonokami, or gyutou. Each type of Japanese knife has its specific history, construction, and use. Japanese knives are very popular among collectors and passionate enthusiasts of samurai history worldwide. Japanese spears include yari, naginata, hoko, and others.
Samurai swords are one of the most distinctive symbols of Japanese culture and history. The samurai sword, often referred to as a katana, is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and has a long tradition dating back to medieval Japan.
