A katana sword is a specific type of Japanese sword, with a slightly curved blade that is more than 23.5 inches (60cm). Occasionally, the term katana sword will be used simply to mean any Japanese sword, but this is not correct, as there are a number of different Japanese swords, including the wakizashi, tanto, tachi, ninjato, kodachi, or chokuto.
