Japanese swords



Ninjaken(Often mispronounced as ninja-toe. The more common term used would be Ninjato)

A feudal japanese sword which would have been used by a ninja at the time. The sword was sheathed in a katana length saya(scabbard which was worn at the back, by the left shoulder), which was used to disguise the person so that he may not be classified to be a ninja. Extra space in the saya may have also been used to store or hide other equipment or goods. The saya was also used to decieve the opponent into thinking that it was a regular katana, causing him to miscalculate his defense and the weight of the sword. This weapon proves to have a greater advantage in closed corridors and indoor, narrow spaces than a katana since its blade is short and straight. Modern ninjato usually have a square hand guard, which is not historically accurate.

Advantage- Much easier to use in closed quarters, especially the indoors.
Disadvantage- Shorter than the average Japanese sword.


Katana


The Katana is a superior weapon, having such extremely sharp blades. The sword is capable of slicing several bodies in half without stopping. Otherwise, it wouldnt be considered a katana. The sword is sharp at only one side and has a curved blade. In the past, black smiths who created these weapons usually worked alone or with a faithful and trustworthy apprentice. To create the perfect katana, the metal bars that were used to work with were buried near volcanoes so that the rust would eat away at the least qualitative metal and add other rich and strong metal to it.
Advantage-It has the sharpest blade of all weapons and it is light weight.
Disadvantage-Not efficient indoors as a ninjato. The process of making the weapon takes about a few months to fifteen years.


Kodachi


A japanese weapon that is too short to be considered a short sword and too long to be considered a dagger. This weapons are usually carried in pairs. In feudal Japan, any merchant may have this weapon.
Advantage: Since it is short than a sword, its quickly drawn and easier to use in battle.
Disadvantage: Its length is shorter than that of an average sword.
