MARTO Black Katana

Historically the Katana was one of the traditionally manufactured Japanese swords used by the Samurai of feudal Japan.

The first use of the word "katana" as a term for a longsword, which was different from a tachi, dates back to the Kamakura period (1185-1333).

The katana was often paired with a similar smaller accompanying sword, such as a wakizashi, or it could also be carried with the tanto, a smaller, similarly shaped dagger. The mating of a katana with a smaller sword is called Daisho. Only samurai could wear the Daisho: it represented diesocial power and the personal honour of the samurai.

The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular guard and a long handle for two hands. It has been historically associated with the samurai of feudal Japan.
