Only for slashing from horseback, but also serviceable in dueling if its wielder was unhorsed.As light sabers, scimitars are optimized for use from horseback by a rider slashing downwards, single-handed, at targets on foot to the left and right of his mount. They are distinguished by their thin blades, which feature little taper until towards the end of the blade, which culminates in a sharp point that renders the sword useful for thrusting, although not as effectively as straight swords that are optimized for thrusting.In the task for which they were designed, however, scimitars were murderous. Against broken formations fleeing on foot, even a small contingent of scimitar-wielding horsemen riding into the disorganized groups could inflict devastating losses in short order. Even after infantry came to dominate the battlefield with disciplined formations that were impervious to horsemen, cavalry hovering at the edge of the battlefields, waiting for the opportunity to charge in and ride down the foot soldiers should their ranks become disorganized, were a constant menace who could at any moment transform mistakes by the infantry into massacres. Antique Japanese samurai katana. WikiperimentKatanaPerhaps the world’s most recognizable sword, thanks to Hollywood and TV, the katana is a single-edged curved sword, with a long handle for two-handed use that features a square or circular guard, and a slender blade usually measuring two and a half feet in length. They are among the finest cutting weapons in history, and were used by Japanese samurai since feudal times, with the earliest recorded mention in the historic record dating to the 12th century.Katanas are the product of natural evolution, having started off as hefty “great swords” that grew thinner, lighter, and more agile over time in order to meet the demands of emerging combat styles that were increasingly reliant upon speed. They became popular with samurai because the ease and speed with which they could be drawn was a decided asset for the newer and faster-fighting styles, collectively dubbed kenjutsu, the art of sword fighting, in which the issue was often settled within seconds, and speed of reaction spelled the difference between life and death.Katanas, coupled with a smaller sword, were thrust, sharp edge facing upwards, through the bearer’s obi – a sash wrapped tightly around the samurai’s waist – in a configuration known as daisho that identified the wearer as a samurai, and only members of that class were authorized to tote paired swords in that fashion. Wearing the katana in the daisho style facilitated a speedy draw, ideally allowing the samurai to draw and cut down his opponent in a single fluid motion, and an entire martial art, Iaido, was dedicated to the speedy retrieval of the katana from its scabbard.Katanas are made from tamahagane steel, which is produced by traditional Japanese smelting processes that result in layered steels with varying carbon concentrations, that are welded, folded, and hammered out to reduce impurities. A katana needs a sharp and hard edge, but steel that is hard enough for a sharp edge

Stimulate our senses, encouraging us to look up, breathe in and absorb our surroundings. The best of them stand testament to the rich history of a locale, and embrace its future excitedly, both hands ready. It’s easier said than done, of course, which is why our team are constantly researching and fine tuning their methods. We’ve found intelligent architecture unites technology, sustainability and human emotion—and our decades-strong networks in the design and construction industries help us achieve that balance faster. Communities are changing. The way we relate to others is elastic, constantly shifting and evolving.Working with a complex inner-city site, Crone overcame multiple site constraints to achieve a light, airy commercial building in tune with the modern workplace. By using the liftcore as a structural beam, Crone was able to span the railway easement, allowing a larger floor plate that maxmises tenant flexibility, outlook and natural light. Different glass frits modulate the light on different edges of the building, and give 180 Brisbane by Daisho its distinctive “Brisbane River” facade. A glass canopy protects the new through site-link, activated by retail.

Good at. If piercing through tough material is what you need, look no further. The Japanese used similar blades on their swords such as the Katana or Daisho with the sole purpose of piercing armor in battle. This is a very strong blade for sure not to mention it looks a little intimidating during a conflict.Spear PointThe Spear Point is an equally balanced blade with a strong tip for piercing while retaining somewhat of a cutting edge (belly) yet not as pronounced as a clip point or drop point which are way better for cutting because of their rounder bellies. This blade can be sharp on both sides making it better for stabbing and piercing or just sharp on one side making it not as good of a piercing instrument. The Spear Point is frequently used in throwing knives because of their symmetry. Not particularity an EDC but definitely a good fighting knife in my opinion.Needle PointThe Needle Point blade as the Spear Point above are also considered daggers by design. While similar to the Spear Point, The Needle Point is much narrower at the point thus the name. A perfect example of a Needle Point Blade is the Stiletto as pictured above.Hawkbill PointNow we get to my personal favorite in the fighting knives department. The tactical capabilities of the blade are limited only by the wielder's imagination. Not only is the curved blade utilitarian in making long cuts such as in carpet cutting but are well honed as defensive and offensive weapons in Eastern Cultures such as Indonesia, The Philippines and other Eastern Civilizations. Also known as a Karambit, this blade goes a long way in modern self defense applications.Sheepsfoot PointThe Sheepsfoot edge has a straight cutting blade with a curved spine that connects to the cutting blade with
