Noun
katana (plural: katana or katanas)
#A Japanese longsword (also known as a daitou) that was made by folding the steel hundreds of times and placing a hardened blade edge on the cutting side, which when cooled gave it a distinctive curved shape which was well suited to slashing attacks and fast drawing from the saya. They were considered weapons of honor and treated extremely well since the samurai|samurai's life depended on the blade. It consisted of the blade, a tsuba or hand guard and a saya or scabbard and was usually kept in a set with a wakizashi that was known as a daisho.
