    Sasuke often wielded it in reverse grip like a tanto that could be wielded like a sword if needed.
    He could gauge the bladed end because:
    1) he is used to carrying it and it likely has distinctive markings from wear and tear
    2) he can see the small details with the Sharringan (his opponents wont know what type of blade it is until he draws it but he will...
    3) it doesn't look like a sword, making it easier to conceal.
    *Based on how it was used:*
    A) it's not really a go-to tool for a fight but more of a large dagger for slicing his opponents through walls when combined with his lightning chakra type (Like when he stabbed Itachi through the chair he was sitting on. A regular Kunai or dagger wouldn't be long enough for that kind of attack).
    B) In a fight he often uses the sword for quick slicing attacks (going straight for the throat), and often uses his Chidori variants for the actual 1v1 fights.
    *As for the actual design of the sword the single edge:*
    1) He sometimes uses his arm to drive the sword forward when in reverse grip... Very rarely does he actually parry anything with it.
    2) It's better for thrusting through resistance (thicker than a rapier but without the cutting curve of a Katana/Nodachi or a Scimitar).
    3) He is very rarely seen parrying something with the blade, so it's likely an Iado style weapon, where it is more of a quickdraw kind of weapon made for dispaching an enemy before they can react.
    But really though, its just an anime sword... they are never practical

    It's actually a chokutō, not a katana. Swords like Sasuke's Blade of Kusanagi were historically used very early in Japanese history starting from the Kofun period, with three main styles existing: Kabutsu-tachi, rokkaku-sōtōken, and hōtō-tachi. By the start of the Nara period, only the hōtō-tachi style survived, and the chokutō would be completely abandoned as a practical weapon of warfare in favor of the larger curved Tachi and Uchigatana/katana by the middle of the Heian period, in the 10th century. Until then, however, they served as worthy replacements to the earlier tsurugi of the Jomon period and earlier. The actual design of the chokutō itself may have been inspired by a similar sword, the Chinese jian.

    The thing with this design is that...
    Sasuke's sword is set up in _Shirasaya;_ furniture intended for long-term storage of a blade, which was never intended to see combat. (The term means "white scabbard", which is somewhat ironic in this case. As for what was done when the katana was expected to see combat again; they would remove the shirasaya, and replace it with the katana's traditional combat furniture.)
    It's almost like Sasuke took the blade from a cache and straight up didn't bother to change the furniture.
    (Though given that it's marked with the uchiwa fan his clan uses as their symbol, that makes a level of sense, given his pride in his heritage.)

Most of the time he still fight unarmed or with ninjutsu. He also use it as lightning rod multiple time.

    A lot of anime uses that design and I can only speculate as to why. This design it is based on is called a shirasaya. It is not meant for combat at all. It is meant for long term storage and preservation of a katana or in that case chokuto. If you did use it in combat the blade would fly out just from swinging it. The stick that has a sword hidden inside for Shad is called a shikomizue. There are many different designs for shikomizue and all of the ones I've seen have clever methods for keeping track of where the edge is and keeping you from sliding your hand up the blade while still looking like a cane or walking stick. I also wanted to mention that the naruto sword there is very very loosely based on Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is a tsurugi which is a double edged straight sword.

      There's other swords like Shichiseiken which serves as more of a gunbai if anything, Sword of Nunoboko which is.. not really a sword..
      The funniest of all these things is in the manga Orochimaru's Kusanagi is a standard (although less curved) katana, and the anime it's a double edged long sword that looks 'kinda asian' Is extendable, telekinetically controlled, and can transform into a snake to return to orochimaru... Sasuke's is literally just a funnel for his lightning chakra to mimic the slicing and range extensions of Orochimaru's kusanagi... It's literally just a 'really durable lightning rod sword'

    It's funny that Shad mentions telescopic swords. That sword was from Naruto Shippuuden and is derived from a chokotō, a previous generation of nihontō. It is refered to as a kusanagi sword, due to him being trained by Orochimaru who uses a telescopic sword called the Kusanagi blade. Sasuke streams lightning chakra through his to increase its cutting potential and will occasionally shape the lightning to extend the blade.
    As for why Sasuke chose a sword, it was because the mangaka was a sasuke simp and wanted to depict sasuke as more advanced than Naruto at the beginning of Shippuuden, so he gave him a sword and stiffed Naruto with only kunai and shuriken. As to why that type of sword, probably to cut down on the time needed to draw the panels with Sasuke in them as he was already a rather overdesigned character.

    Shinobi in naruto can focus the chakra on the soles of their feet to walk on water and walls, I don't think that focusing a little chakra on the palms of their hands to not slip towards the blade is a problem, so the guard and texture of the handle is probably unnecessary.

      The bigger reason for why his sword doesn't have any wraps or a guard is because it's a shirasaya, which is just a barebones sword meant to be put in storage rather than be used in combat. When need for it arises, the blade would be taken out of the shirasaya and put into a proper handle with the necessary wraps and guard. With how little he used it I'd say he just couldn't be bothered.

    To answer the question: Sasuke didn't choose that sword. It was just one of the only 3 Kusanagi swords in existence, given to him by his teacher (who had one of the other ones, which looked more like a basic uchigatana) Theoretically, thanks to Sasuke's fighting style/power set(wreathing the blade with lightning), there really wasn't many weapons that would survive a clash with that sword. He would most likely cleave right through them. As for holding onto it, he could just use the chakra cling technique(what ninjas use to cling to walls and ceilings). The sword was lost/destroyed during the last great ninja war and was eventually replaced by one that may or may not be his former master's.

    Japanese police for some reason have used strait short swords rather than curved. So there has to be something of benefit or meaning to the strait katana style that we are missing.
    I also think the lack of a hand guard and single edge is not a downside at all given it’s context in the anime. It is not meant to be a dueling weapon against other swords. It is more of a quick strike killing blow execution or assassination weapon once pulled out. He can channel his lightning power into it which makes it able to cut through anything. His sharingon power allows him to flawlessly avoid counter attacks or blocks and to not miss his strikes.
    It is also very rare for ninjas to use swords. Especially full sized ones. Let alone ninjas powerful enough that there is ever a chance for him to have to trade sword blows with them.
    Since most ninjas are using nothing more than kunai, his sword actually gives him a major advantage over them purely from a weapon design standpoint even without a guard or double edge.
    Sasuke also has super human prodigy, and later demigod levels, of ninja skill that mean he won’t let himself be in a position where his grip slips and will always know which direction he has to pull his blade out.

    The guns you are thinking of are called Derringers. They were invented sometime in the 19 century and were single or two shot break action pistols that were small enough to fit inside pockets. Hence why old west brothel workers used them to deal with handys customers by concealing them within their garter belts.
    They are still made today and some people do actually carry them for self defense here in America due to how small and easily concealable they are. Granted having two shots of .38 or 9mm isn’t ideal in the slightest when it comes to self defense it is still better than having nothing at all.

      Deringer was the manufacturer and patent holder. Derringer with two rs was a cheap way to avoid the royalties. The small guns were in the class of 'holdout guns' along with sawed off pistols. Women could conceal them in a purse or hand muff and they were sometimes sold as 'muff pistols'. The muff pistol preceded Deringer and some flintlock versions remain. They all had a low muzzle velocity and sort range. Deadly enough across a table or face-to-face with an attacker, they would leave a nasty bruise when shooting you from across the room.

    @clericofchaos1 Місяць тому +1

    I always assumed the point was that it's concealed. Like, it still looks like a weapon, but carrying a stick isn't illegal. If you were carrying around a baseball bat or a kendo stick you might get some funny looks, but the cops aren't going to stop you. A baseball bat with some nails in it...maybe that would get you stopped...but just a baseball bat, no i can't see them as having any reason to bother you over it. That being said, it's still a bad design. Mainly, because if i've already got a bat, i don't really want to put a sword inside of it. That weakens the structural integrity of the bat and the bat itself is just a really good weapon, it doesn't need a blade.

    8:35 i would like to also say that Sasuke’s grass cutter has a special enchantment on it where if an opponent goes to block the sword, the sword will basically phase through the attempted block and hit the target anyway. Its not touched on very much in the show, but it does in-fact do that. As sasukes sword is a clone of orochimaru’s sword which has an enchantment to be able to cut through anything.
    Also i believe that his sword is meant for assassinations… because hes a ninja, so a sword in that shape is easier to kill people through the floor boards of a traditional Japanese style home, which is the kind of house he and his brother grew up in. Sasukes sole goal for like 70% of the show is to kill his brother.

    You’re literally missing the point, first off it wasn’t really used as a sword in the show and secondly you gotta use logic that makes sense in Naruto universe. They can apply chakra to their feet and literally walk on water and walls, a sword does not need a guard in their universe. It’s a fictional universe with their own sets of rules, comparing that with real world doesn’t make any sense.

      Naruto became popular because it made real attempt to implement real logic to the series and therefore can very well be examined in actual world logic. Much more than most other anime anyway. Its true that Naruto shipuuden which followed the original Naruto, and when the sword was given to Sasuke, was less coherent and eventually became full anime logic.

    It's divereces to the Kantana are:
    Straight edge
    No guard/tsuba
    it was in a lot of cases (not all) shorter
    And the handel developt over time from a short handel that gives only space to get the support hand only situation wise on the handel. And over the decades the handel getting longer to a 'regular' Katana sized handel for 2hands.
