History of Tachi Swords<\/h2>\r\nTachis are one of the prestigious Japanese swords which was first used by Samurai of feudal Japan. The word \u2018Tachi\u2019 translates as \u2018soul of Samurai.\u2019 It got its name from its emergence and dominance among the Samurai people.\r\n\r\nThe manufacturing of Tachi swords dates back to 1596 (Koto period<\/a>), and they are considered to be one of the oldest and most used Samurai swords. Unlike other swords of that time, the Tachi had a longer blade, and it became an essential weapon for the battlefields.\r\n\r\nThe Cavalry<\/a> (Japanese horsemen) could easily use this sword because of its length and lightweight. Although it was larger than other Japanese Samurais, it was considerably lighter even than the Katanas. That is why these were easy to wield and carry with one hand. And from there on, it was regarded as a compulsory sword for Japanese Cavalry.\r\n

Traditionally made authentic Tachi swords<\/h2>\r\nAuthentic Tachis were curved, and the curves moved upward from middle to tip. The swords during the koto period were mostly straight, and they required more effort to wield around with them. The curved blade provided a balance between precision and momentum and generated a very high impact. That is why Tachi became famous in no time. With the emergence of Tachi swords, the old straight swords were replaced.\r\n\r\nEven today, we offer you the same curved authentic Tachi with exact finishes.
