Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a long katana blade?
Our long katana blades typically range from 75 to 90 centimeters, exceeding the standard katana blade length of 60 to 73 centimeters. Overall length with handle can reach 120 centimeters or more. Exact dimensions are listed on each product page.
What is the difference between a long katana and an odachi?
The terms overlap, but odachi and nodachi traditionally refer to specific historical sword types with blades exceeding 90 centimeters, designed for battlefield use. Our long katana collection includes both extended-length katana-profile blades and pieces that approach odachi proportions. The construction is identical regardless of classification.
Is a long katana harder to display?
Long katanas require slightly more display space than standard katanas. A wider tabletop stand or longer wall mount section is needed. The extra length actually makes long katanas more visually impressive on display, as the extended blade creates a commanding presence that draws attention.
Does the longer blade affect balance?
Yes. A longer blade shifts the balance point forward compared to a standard katana. Our long katanas compensate through careful tang proportioning to maintain usable balance. The forward weight gives these swords a distinctive feel that many collectors appreciate as different from standard-length blades.
