If you prefer using just one knife for all your food prep, a Japanese chef’s knife is the way to go. These knives are typically 20cm in length, and can glide through veggies just as well as chunks of meat. But if you intend to take your culinary skills up a notch or two, then investing in one or two smaller knives, such as a 9cm or 13cm blade, will help you make more precise cuts. A court will decide if you’ve got a good reason to carry a knife or a weapon if you’re charged with carrying it illegally.

Pronounced [katana], the kun'yomi (Japanese reading) of the kanji 刀, originally meaning single edged blade (of any length) in Chinese, the word has been adopted as a loanword by the Portuguese. [12] In Portuguese the designation (spelled catana) means "large knife" or machete. [12] Description [ edit ] Mei (signature) and Nakago ( tang) of an Edo period katanaThe first use of katana as a word to describe a long sword that was different from a tachi, occurs as early as the Kamakura period. [13] These references to " uchigatana" and " tsubagatana" seem to indicate a different style of sword, possibly a less costly sword for lower-ranking warriors. Starting around the year 1400, long swords signed with the katana-style mei were made. This was in response to samurai wearing their tachi in what is now called " katana style" (cutting edge up). Japanese swords are traditionally worn with the mei facing away from the wearer. When a tachi was worn in the style of a katana, with the cutting edge up, the tachi's signature would be facing the wrong way. The fact that swordsmiths started signing swords with a katana signature shows that some samurai of that time period had started wearing their swords in a different manner. [25] [26]
