Katana - Straight Blade Chokuto

In Japan, before the 9th century, there was a straight-blade Japanese sword called the chokuto. In the middle of the Heian period, it was replaced by the now common Japanese samurai sword, of which only the ninja sword is still a straight sword. But in China or European countries, most swords are still straight blades.

Unlike other types of katana blades, the chokuto is characterized by a straight blade without curvature. However, despite lacking curvature, the chokuto offers great strength and cutting efficiency.
