i doubt this is true. the yari is a specific type of spear that was invented later, but other kinds of spears would've been used before, especially because the spear is a universally efficient design. given that high quality iron is more rare in japanese lands, the spear most definitely wouldve been widely used for how little iron it would require. and of course, primitive japanese peoples 20,000 + years ago would've had stone spears and clubs

fun trivia: uchigatana blades are, and always were, forged straight; the curve is acquired in the quench after the differential heating. There are some videos floating around on here where you can see this happening in real time (because the swordsmith used an aquarium or something like that for a quench tank) and it's both incredibly cool and kinda eerie.

It's because before the heat-treatment to harden the sword, the sword is covered in clay, with only a very thin layer on the edge, and a very thick layer on the spine of the sword. This caused the sword to cool at different speeds which gives the uchikatana its curve. Also the beautiful wavy hamon.

I would’ve mentioned the Kodachi as well, especially since they’re commonly mistaken for Wakizashi. The two main differences were that Kodachi are meant to be a specific length (Being 60 cm long which is shorter than 2 shaku) while Wakizashi is made to fit its wielder as with every type of katana weapon used. The second difference is that Kodachi were used in the Kamakura Era while the Wakizashi were used during the Muromachi Era as stated in the video.

I did some reading and it was stated that samurai carried 2 swords at all times when they first made their appearance around 1185. The kodachi being the second and any one larger, i.e., tachi, uchi-katana or odachi. Guess I would have to go back to Japan and get the word firsthand.

Nicely done! However, in the "omake" talk, a missing aspect was the actual use of the o-dachi. The "choken" of the Kage Ryu Batto-jutsu from Akizuki Han (modern Fukuoka Prefecture) is still practiced today. These choken were from 2.8 to 4 shaku in length. I have used bokuto 3.5 shaku long - it is a rather interesting experience. I also train with a 2.81 shaku iaito as well.

Great stuff, Shogo! Curved swords are also easier to withdraw from a target after a hit bc of the leverage of the curved blade. I have also heard that a curved blade assists in edge alignment so that a strike is more likely to land with the blade at 90 degree angle to the target.

@@APenguinsLullaby The Zulu were actually pretty interesting weapon and tactics-wise because they basically reinvented the Roman legion. The Assegai, their short spear, was more like a short sword and used as such in close combat. Generally, a Zulu warrior carried a couple of throwing spears that would be used in volleys at the beginning of the fight to soften up their enemy, after which they would advance in a shield block to destroy their enemy in close combat. The classic Roman legions fought the same way.

The Yari can't be newer than the Chokuto. Yari literally just means spear. You won't be telling me that the spear didnt exist before for wild pig hunters? Spears are the easiest and most effective weapons to manufacture I'm sure the Japanese had them since forever.

Definitely! IMHO i think he meant spear as a Samurai weapon specifically. In fact the japanese spear before the Yari was the Hoko, described in the preface of the Kojiki (700 AD) as were produced as early as the Yayoi period (300 BC to 300 AD) ;)

The spear was a weapon used by foot soldiers who were primarily raised up during times of wore and given cheap, mass-produced equipment. Samurai fought with bows on horseback. They picked up the spear again when professional armies of peasant foot soldiers took over the battlefield during the Sengoku era and samurai-style horse archery was no longer effective.
