Sword MakingNihonto is a Japanese sword. Nihontos are an ancient weapon to the Japanese. There are a good amount of nihontos in Japan. One of them is called a katana, it is usually long, single edged and curved. It also was worn by samurai in the 1400s. Some other nihontos are wakizasi, tsurugi, odachi, maginata, and yari. Some other nihontos are still seen today. A shinogi/the middle ridge is the most noticed part of the sword. The tip of a nihonto is considered an extremely important characteristic. A nihontâ??s tip is not chipped like spears or wooden knives. Nihontos are made by hand not machine. I think sword making is so cool.
