Katanas are single-edged swords of Japanese design, wielded with one or two hands. The distinctive design features a slightly curved blade, and a pointed tip. Traditional katana blades have a subtle layered pattern due to the steel-folding technique used to reduce impurities in the metal. It is the equivalent of well-balanced swords that are wielded with one or two hands, such as the English longsword.
