KATANAS!! WAH DAH!

Katanas originated from the country of Japan. It was crafted during the 900 A.D and it was crafted for one purpose, war. It is known as the "samurai swords" have been used by Japanese warriors since the early times of war. Most of the time katanas are carried among noblemen or high ranking clans that resembles their power in the military. It is long and light weighted so it could be easily maneuvered, so the user can have an advantage of attacking his opponents faster and more deadlier.

 Unlike the European medieval swords that are long and straight, katanas have a slight curve to them which makes cutting more easier. For example while beheading a person, if the katana is sharp enough it would simply cut perfectly across the neck due to is thin yet sharp blade, while a European sword thick and heavy might get stuck and have to take a second chop to completely behead a person.
