Grave 0 Posted August 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Would a Wakizashi fall under Daggers, One Handed Curved Swords or Katanas? Link to post Share on other sites
Calrex 0 Posted August 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) From what I know of the different swords I believe a Wakizashi would fall under a One-Handed Curved Sword.In terms of the three weapons, Tanto would be a Dagger, Wakizashi would be a OH Curved Sword, and a Katana would be, well, a Katana XD, at least if you're going by their respective lengths Edited August 12, 2015 by Calrex Link to post Share on other sites
Grave 0 Posted August 12, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Where would a Nagamaki fall? It's literally halfway between a Nodachi and a Naginata, with the blade and handle being the same length, but the total length being as long as a Nodachi Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It's wielded with two hands in the same way that a Katana is, so my guess is that it would fall under the same category as the Katana. Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan Delaney 0 Posted August 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Wakizashi would be the one handed curved sword while the katana for example the two handed curved sword.Nagamaki are classified as a nihonto, thus still a sword and as such a two handed curved sword.
