Katana Chokuto

A Katana Chokuto is a traditional Japanese sword characterized by its straight, single-edged blade, unlike the more commonly known curved katana. Originating in ancient Japan, the chokuto served both as a weapon and a symbol of authority. Its straight design allowed for different fighting techniques and was often crafted from high-quality steel for durability. The simplicity of its form reflects early sword-making styles, before curved blades became dominant. Today, the Katana Chokuto is appreciated as a historical artifact and collector's item, representing Japan's martial heritage and craftsmanship in ancient weaponry.
