The chokuto was based on the Chinese Han dao and ken was based on the Chinese Jian. It was until during the late 7th century or early-mid 8th century that a famous Japanese swordsmith created the Kogarasu maru "litte crow"; a curved hybrid that you mentioned in the video. That sword had a false edged on one side and sharp edged on another. Later, the tang dao inspired the Japanese to further improve their Kogarasu maru into the Tachi.

@@SuperHongTay I've handled medieval weapons of many types in a range of historical accuracy. It honestly doesn't even matter that much. Above a certain length, with one exception of an anti-pike-specialized sword, you're always better off trading blade length for the advantages that come with a long haft instead of limiting yourself to a hit unless you're deliberately trading combat effectiveness for the portability of a sidearm. That's why there has been very little historic use of swords bigger than a single person could practically draw while wearing beyond the niche exception of those anti-pike greatswords I mentioned. Polearms are just that good. Leverage is a powerful thing. Swords, for however cool they may be, are almost universally sidearms, not primary weapons.

With all of this talk of swords I wonder if a weapon built like the Naginata of Kenkon from Inyuasha could have existed or is it just an algimation of fiction? Forgive me Linfamy. I have forsaken my studies of weapontry outside of watching reruns of Forged in Fire. Paints in expressive caligraphy: "I love this video." I also enjoy your random humor too. Your commentary on accessories for itachi had me rolling with laughter. They should come in rose gold even if it was special order only. 🤣 Many thanks. Keep up the great work. :)

@Linfamy 3 жыл бұрын

Hmm... like a double sided glaive type weapon? Nah, that's fiction, though it looks cool =) The advantage of the naginata was its reach. With a double sided naginata, you'd lose that advantage and you're left with the reach of a regular sword, which as we've established is less useful. I'd say a regular sword is a better weapon as it's lighter and not as unwieldy. Blades are heavy. A wooden stick plus 2 long blades would be so heavy that it'd be pretty much useless. There's my theorycrafting =P

江戸時代、携帯できるブレードの長さが規定されて、多くの長巻太刀が打刀に改造されました。太刀は戦争用だから。平和な時代に不適当であると江戸幕府の判断でしようね。アメリカで、カービンライフルを携帯して、ニューヨークの街中をうろつけないのと同じでしょうか。そう考えると、打刀は拳銃的な立ち位置かもしれません。

余談ですが、短くされた、改造長巻太刀は評判は丈夫に作られているせいで、大変評判が良かったそうです。鈍無し戦国時代は、織田信長の護衛に使われるほど有名だったのですが、江戸時代は忘れられて薙刀と混同されるほどだったそうです。

When the blade is curved, the surface area which is hitting the target will be much smaller. Less surface area means more pressure (P=F/A) I love this video

@jamesfrankiewicz5768 3 жыл бұрын

Japanese blades aren't curved quite enough for this to make a big difference this way, but they do tend to have better edge geometry than western blades, which is what really makes them so great at cutting (the curve also makes edge alignment a little easier). Japanese blades tend to have a continuous, convex edge all the way to the halfwidth line on the blade, whereas western blades tend to have a secondary bevel a millimeter or two from the edge itself. If you get a katana with a secondary bevel, it's either not an authentically crafted blade, or it has been resharpened in a non-traditional manner at some point. That being said, a sword with a secondary bevel is a lot easier to resharpen, so it's a trade off.

@alperenerol1852 3 жыл бұрын

Not necessarily, you need to apply more force to exert same amount of pressure.

@mrkiky 2 жыл бұрын

@@jamesfrankiewicz5768 But if you had to do any field sharpening to your katana, you'd end up with a secondary bevel anyway since you wouldn't have the equipment or the time to remove the entire surface and keep a single bevel. So while it wouldn't come like that from the "factory", it's no unheard of for a katana to have a secondary bevel.

From what I understand of European sword design, they also have a second handle forward of the guard. In the case described in this video, the second handle is the simple leather wrap around the base of an odachi's blade. This is called a riccasso, and an excellent example of such a devise can be seen on the steel greatsword from the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. Real life examples mostly come from the German zweihänder.
