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.

Michael E Glass Indiana, United States

The swords arrived 7-8 days after they were shipped. I had received an email confirming the order when I placed it, however I did not receive an email when it shipped, so I didn't know to look for them. They may have been outside a day before I noticed the boxes. With that said the boxes arrived in good shape with no obvious shipping damage. I'm not the biggest fan of the all styrofoam containers, due to it being a little messy when opening the packaging, but I can't deny it did an excellent job in protecting the swords as they arrived in perfect condition. I haven't had a chance to cut any water bottles yet, but all of the swords seem reasonably sharp. Everything seems well built with no obvious defects that I can tell at this time.

My first Naganata. I'm hooked. The most solid and we'll balanced sword I have purchased yet. The wooden Saya is a thing of beauty. The entire sword is gorgeous from top to bottom. It came perfect out of the box. Sharp, no rattles, fits perfectly in the saya. It will be my main blade to practise with going forward. Great job!
