==History==
Chokuto are straight single-edged, one-handed swords, often of the one-handed variety. The design of the chokuto is thought to have come from China and most likely were used in similar ways as the ancient Chinese sword styles of the time which involved stabbing and the use of a shield, rather than the tactics introduced for the katana, which focus much more on cutting. Chokuto used a very different forging process, and tempering was not yet used, so these would not have been very endurable blades compared to the katana, which implemented these techniques throughout the majority of the time they were used.
