Katanas

The katana is used primarilly by ninjas and is like an oriental version of a
longsword. The blade is usually around four feet in length and is slightly
curved. The hilt is made of the same metal as the blade and is long enough to
accomidate two and a half normal human sized hands. Right between the hilt and
the blade is usually a small, circular guard. The katana's blade is one-sided
and sharpened to a razor edge.
