Samurai Tanto

Samurai Tanto
what are all the weapons of the samurai?

i know their is the katana,wakizashi,and tanto making a daisho,but what were the other weapons they used?

Too many to name if you really want ALL of them
A couple of common pieces in the samurai included
Naginata or pole arm. A large weapon mainly designed for fighting men on horseback.
Yari or spear. The traditional spear was also a large one for similar intents as the naginata
The bow was extremely popular, crossbows were a little less in use but still had their place in the samurai arsenal. And the portugese brought firearms into play
There were many varieties on these weapons plus also during a certain period the Nodachi (a sword twice as long as the common katana) was very popular on the battle field
