<hr />
<div>'''Armour''' is protective plates or [[clothing]] meant to shield a human from intentionally inflicted harm. Armour has been in use for all recorded history, beginning with [[hide]]s, [[leather]], [[bone]], progressing to [[bronze]], [[steel]], [[ballistic cloth]], [[ceramic]]s, and depleted uranium. Armour has been primarily a way to protect oneself from harm in [[combat]] and military engagements.<br />
<br />
Armour parts may be manufactured using a wide variety of materials and forms. During the [[Middle Ages]], [[cloth]], [[soft leather]], [[boiled leather]], [[chainmail]] and [[steel plate]]s were often used.<br />
<br />
In [[Europe]]an history, common armour types were the [[lorica segmentata]], the [[chainmail]] [[hauberk]], the [[gambeson]] and later the [[full steel plate]] armour used by late [[medieval]] [[knight]]s. In [[feudal]] [[Japan]], laquered [[lamellar]] armours were popular. <br />

<div>The Tachi was the original Sword of the Samurai. Often referred to as the Long Sword, it was generally longer than the Katana in blade and overall length. Primarily used as a "War" sword, it was commonly wielded until the end of the bakufu (Shogun) government, it was replaced tactically by the katana.<br />
<br />
There are many variations within the Tachi theme including; straight blades, deeply curved blades, longer curved Tsuka, and even blades with swedges (sharpened backedges).</div>Sirtanakahttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Sword&diff=10153Sword2005-06-09T20:15:10Z<p>Sirtanaka: /* General swords */</p>
