Best Answer

Generally they fought with only the single sword called the Katana "Ka-Ta-Na" which is the long curved sword which is made by folding steel and has a harder blade edge and a softer more flexable shank edge. The smaller sword carried was used for dispatching the enemy or for the ritual of Sepuku (which is the ritual suicide of the holder due to dishonour)
