About samurai Sord

In Samurai_sword, correctness is "Katana", and arms that are called a "Japanese sword" now. It existed since the 11th century old. 
Fighting was used the spear and the bow and arrow, and secondary arms. 
However, when Japan became peaceful in the 17th century, it became arms for which they were not used so much, and the sword was used chiefly. 
Because the "Katana" was carried when going out, and maintenance was never neglected, the samurai came to be called "Samurai's soul". 

The blade is formed with the carbon steel by the forge. The blade is a double-layered structure where the material of the surface and the wick is different. The surface is a very firm element that is called a martensite, and the wick is made of a carbon little, soft iron. As a result, it has stickiness strength that doesn't break easily at the same time as with stiffness because of the cutlery it that cuts most in the worlds.
