Samurai Swords carry the majesty of medieval Asian times. They are mystical and beautiful and exude the honor of the samurai way of life.

Nothing compares to a samurai sword set. Samurai sets generally include:

• Daito or Katana (Long Sword)
• Wakizashi (Medium Sword)
• Tanto (Short Sword)

Katana typically paired with the wakizashi, a similarly made but tiny sword, both worn by the members of the warrior class. It could also be worn with the tanto, an even smaller similarly shaped blade. The two weapons together were called the daishō, and represented the social power and personal honour of the samurai. The long blade was used for open combat, while the shorter blade was considered a side arm, more suited for stabbing, close quarters combat, decapitating beaten opponents when taking heads on the battlefield, and seppuku, a form of ritual suicide.
