68" ODACHI Katana Sword
One of the biggest Samurai sword available on the net! An ōdachi (大太刀, ōdachi?), meaning "Great/Sacred sword", was a type of long Japanese sword. The term nodachi, or "field sword", which refers to a different type of sword, is often mistakenly used in place of ōdachi. It is historically known as ōtachi. The character for ō (大) means "big" or "great". The characters for da (太) and chi (刀) are the same as tachi (太刀), the older style of sword/mounts that predate the katana. The chi is also the same character as katana (刀) and the tō in nihontō (日本刀 "Japanese sword"), originally from the Chinese character for a knife, dāo. To qualify as a odachi, the sword in question must have a blade length over 3 shaku. Regardless of size, most ōdachi have religious inscriptions on the tang. However, as with most terms in Japanese sword arts, there is no exact definition of the size of an ōdachi. Spec: 68" (5'8") ODACHI Katana Sword. 16 1/2" Dual handed black cord wrap Handle with a 51" stainless steel blade. shipping to europe for this item is $80 due to its large size.
