Korean swords have served a central place in the defense of the nation for thousands of years. Although typical Korean land battles have taken place in wide valleys and narrow mountain passes, which favor use of the spear and bow, the sword found use as a secondary, close-quarters weapon, especially useful during sieges and ship-to-ship boarding actions. Higher quality, ceremonial swords were typically reserved for the officer corps as a symbol of authority with which to command the troops. Ceremonial swords are still granted to military officials by the civilian authority to this day.

  • Korean swords have served a central place in the defense of the nation for thousands of years. Although typical Korean land battles have taken place in wide valleys and narrow mountain passes, which favor use of the spear and bow, the sword found use as a secondary, close-quarters weapon, especially useful during sieges and ship-to-ship boarding actions. Higher quality, ceremonial swords were typically reserved for the officer corps as a symbol of authority with which to command the troops. Ceremonial swords are still granted to military officials by the civilian authority to this day. Korean swords typically fall into two broad categories, the Geom, and the Do. The Geom is a double-edged weapon, while the Do is a single-edged weapon; although exceptions exist. In common parlance, all swords may be referred to as Geom (Korean:검; 劍). The history of the sword in Korea begins with imports during the Bronze Age in the mid 1st millennium BCE.Native production of bronze and iron swords appeared in the mid 1st millennium CE. The rarity of traditional Korean swords makes them extremely valuable, and in high demand for museums and collectors. (en)
  • La storia della fabbricazione della spada ha in Corea una tradizione antichissima, ad oggi poco approfondita. L'evoluzione dell'arma bianca manesca nella Penisola coreana fu strettamente legata allo sviluppo delle spade cinesi, di cui condivise le particolari tappe: spade cerimoniali in pietra, spade lunghe in bronzo sino alla predilezione per la scimitarra. La spada coreana restò però per moltissimo tempo un manufatto appositamente sviluppato per un utente di alto ceto sociale, non realizzata su vasta scala per armare un esercito. La più famosa spada coreana fu lo (환두대도), una scimitarra con pomolo ad anello, negli esemplari più pregiati ornato da figure di dragoni e fenici, già diffuso al tempo dei Tre Regni di Corea (I secolo a.C.-VII secolo).
