I'm finally in my new aparment. My cell phone gets absolutely no connection except for outside, but so far everything else is ok. Took a bit to get the internet to work, but it seems to be good now. Now I just need to buy a couch....

YAY! Good for you, Spyder. Now if only my mom's roommate would pack her bags and leave so that I can finally move my Martial Arts Gear out of my room! My swords alone are enough to drive me crazy! I can barely move around with all the goddamn gear.

Hmm...katana, nodachi, and one I actually cannot name...damn.

I plan on getting a sakabatou at some point....'tis a reverse blade katana, meaning the normal cutting side isn't where it is on a normal katana, it's on the opposite side.

Is the small one a Wazikiszasi(sp?)?

No, it's Daito (lg), Wakizashi (md), and Tanto (sm).

i thought the large one was a katana?, the other two are correct though.

Actually, they do make Sakabatou's, and they have been around before, but Rurouni Kenshin is what made them popular these days.

I used to have 2 but they were fake. However my older brother in his house has several swords. There from The Lord Of The Rings. They are so cool!

Well, I always thought the Katana was a stand-alone sword; not part of a set of 3.

And by the way, Daito IS the correct name for the larger one. Sorry Spyder, but I have started taking classes in Swordsmanship, and the first thing I was taught was how to distinguish between the swords.

Woah, no need to get defensive man, I wasn't trying to say you were wrong, I've just always heard of the katana, as it's the most widely used name for samurai/ninja swords, as well as it was advertised as a katana on ebay. What's the difference if it's part of a set or not if it's the exact same sword? Wouldn't it be called the same thing?

Just looked around on Yahoo for a sec, and on this page (http://http://free.of.pl/h/hiro/ssglossary/glossary.htm) it says that a Daito can be either a Tachi or a Katana. A couple other pages I looked at said pretty much the same thing. We're both correct  Very Happy .

Another page with some good info (http://http)

I'd imagine katanas. You'd have to ask Indy to be sure though.
