The
Samurai Sword
is often used as a synonym to refer to a 'Katana'. Samurais were a middle to upper class of warriors serving the Japanese nobility. They in fact used a number of weapons - some were swords, like the katana, wakizashi or the tanto (technically a knife), although samurais were known to also use spears (called naginata) and bows. The Japanese samurai practiced strict adherence to a code called the Bushido (or the Way of the Warrior) - it's in this set of written rules that the katana was depicted as samurai's soul, thereby sealing its association as a samurai sword.Samurai Swords for Sale
