dumbest ever. half the is wrong anyways, LOL. you can never trust “expert” village for anything.

Very reliable since …
Very reliable since the “expert” doesn’t have any decent sword. Those are all wallhanger. Wakizashi literally mean “to carry on side”. Also either tanto or wakizashi could have been used in seppuku.

Umm.. as many have stated, he got Tsuba and Tsuka wrong.. also the Tsuba wasn’t for blocking an enemy blade, it was for preventing your own hand from sliding onto your blade…
The way he said ‘Wakizashi’ made me cringe.
The Tanto WAS used for Seppuku though, some people have posted saying it was not? A wakizashi COULD be used for seppuku if a tanto wasn’t available I guess, but the implement doesn’t really matter… it’s the fact that you’re dead that does. Traditionally though, Tanto

Seppuku is …
Seppuku is committed with a thin blade of one shaku nagasa (tanto size) with no mounts. The nakago would be covered with paper and bound to provide grip.
The wakizashi is the companion to the katana and is used indoors (where the katana is too long), when the katana is broken or lost, and for two sword techniques. It is also sometimes deployed during grappling, but that is usually a tanto’s job.

I agree with u in …
I agree with u in the fact that is a nightmare listening to this guy talk about the katana, the handgard is a”tsuBA” ,the “tsuKA” is the handle. HE is right about the wakisashi though cuz it was the tanto that was use to commit seppuku, the wakisashi is literaly translated into “the companion sword” and is used in double sword combat.

It’s a nightmare to …
It’s a nightmare to heard him speak about katana! The short sword is the Wakisashi and serve to perform seppuku, not the tanto!!! The handguard is a tsuba not a tsuka which is the handle of the sword.

Sorry, there is an error. The handguard it’s called TSUBA, the tsuka you mentioned is the handle of the sword. Hope this will be useful.

Sasaki Kojiro, the legendary rival of Miyamoto Musashi, was said to be an expert at using a large sword, although I am not 100% if it was technically classified as a nodachi or not.
