Throughout history, swordsmen have scaled down their swords to fit younger hands and beginners. The 34-inch mini-choken consists of 24 inches of striking area and 10 inches of handle. It is designed for the younger martial artist and sword practitioner who has difficulty wielding the longer choken sword. The length of the blade also offers young and adult combatants strong defensive and offensive capabilities. This medium-range, one- or two-handed sword is sometimes called a shoto or gunto.
