Since I had no idea what "katana" meant I thought I would give the definition for any other Vorts who are equally orientally challenged. ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------- A slightly curved sword, with its convex edge sharpened, used since the Ashikaga period (1333-1474). It was one of the weapons used by the Bushi class, especially the Samurai, which used it together with a shorter sword called Wakizashi. The Katana has been endowed with a sacred element, since it comes from the work store of a member of the Shintoist priesthood. The two swords together are called Daisho (long and short), and were used by Samurai of all the ranks. -----------------------------------------------------------
