<Snipped quote by Dragoknighte>

Tantos are kind of like daggers, yes. I could swear a wakizashi is like a shortsword, while a katana is like a 2 handed arming sword. You have to bear in mind people from history are far shorter than us, especially Asian peoples from that time, so measurements for weapons are far shorter than their European counter-parts, but if they were used by Europeans they would be scaled up

Let's keep arguing semantics, instead of having fun

I thought arguing semantics was what we did for fun. The wakizashi is basically a shortsword in how it was used.
