Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a nodachi and an odachi?
The terms are closely related and sometimes used interchangeably. Nodachi literally means ‘field sword’ and emphasizes battlefield use, while odachi means ‘great sword’ and refers to the size. In practice, both describe Japanese swords with blades significantly longer than standard katanas, typically exceeding 90 centimeters.
How long is a nodachi blade?
Nodachi blades in our collection typically range from 85 to 110 centimeters, with overall length reaching 140 to 160 centimeters. These dimensions significantly exceed the standard katana blade length of 60 to 73 centimeters. Exact measurements are listed on each product page.
How should I display a nodachi?
Due to their length, nodachi require wider display space than standard katanas. A long horizontal wall mount or floor-standing vertical rack works well. Some collectors display nodachi diagonally for dramatic effect. Ensure the mount or stand can support the additional weight of the longer blade.
Were nodachi actually used in battle?
Yes. Historical records confirm nodachi use on Japanese battlefields, particularly during the Nanboku-cho period. They were effective for sweeping attacks against cavalry and for breaking through infantry formations. Some nodachi were also dedicated as shrine offerings due to their impressive craftsmanship.

Sword looks beautiful but did come with a couple rusty spots. They offered a little discount and that made me happier. The sword was sharp but not as sharp as I thought it would be from the reviews and description according to the page. Overall still a beautiful sword that looks well made!

Mnou zakúpená katana je spracovaná na veľmi dobrej úrovni. Čepeľ vykazuje malé nedostatky v súmernosti, chrbát čepele nemá obidve polovice rovnako široké po celej dlžke a taktiež plochy medzi rebrami a hranami chrbta na oboch bokoch čepele nie sú rovnako široké po celých dlžkach. Nakoľko saya s habaki sú zlícované dosť na tesno, katana sa vyťahuje zo saye dosť ťažko (ale toto sa dá doladiť, nie je to večší problém. Zakončenie rukoväti (Kashira) nebolo nasadené kolmo na os čepele, čo som musel upraviť. Mekugi neboli namontované do rukoväte (Tsuky) moc esteticky.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with TrueKatana absolutely deserves one.r
r
I initially received an incorrect item with my order. Mistakes happen, that part didn’t concern me. What did matter was how the situation was handled, and TrueKatana exceeded every expectation I had.r
r
From the very first reply, their support team was polite, responsive, and genuinely focused on making things right. They clearly communicated my options, worked with my timeline (this was a birthday gift), and went out of their way to minimize inconvenience. Instead of rigid policies or delays, I was met with flexibility, transparency, and solutions.r
r
The highlight? They arranged shipment of the correct sword promptly and ultimately told me I could keep the incorrect item at no cost—no return required. That level of trust and goodwill is rare, especially in online retail.r
r
What impressed me most wasn’t just the resolution, but how easy they made the entire process feel. No friction. No defensiveness. No hoops to jump through. Just professional, thoughtful customer care from start to finish.r
r
TrueKatana has earned a customer for life. Their customer service genuinely rivals what I’ve experienced with top-tier Fortune 500 companies, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a purchase.r
r
If you’re on the fence, don’t be. You’ll be taken care of.

Sehr zufrieden mit meinem Katana, die Saya ist schön, die Tsuba ein Traum. Das Gewicht überzeugt mit einer guten Balance. Die Klinge ist gut geschärft. Dies ist mein 2. Katana von TrueKatana und definitiv nicht mein letztes. Absolute Kaufempfehlungr

P.S. Der Versand nach Deutschland dauert etwas… bei mir 4 Wo.

Shipment arrived earlier than expected. The quality of the blade and detail work was great.

It arrived on time! :) But it was poorly made. It has loose parts. I would personally not buy from here again because $200 bucks for a poorly made katana is not it.
