Does the name Duncan McLeod ring a bell? If it does, then you’ve probably seen or heard of the show Highlander. It tells of an immortal who hunts down other immortals, battles with them, cuts their head off and takes their immortality. It’s a really fascinating premise. The effects were awesome and each episode is fraught with adventure and drama.

Duncan McLeod used swords to defeat his opponents. These Highlander swords are swords used by Japanese warriors. There are different kinds of highlander swords, some of which are the katana, which is the longest one at 43 inches. Then comes the wakizashi at 33 inches. The shortest sword at 24 inches is the tanto.
