Mmm Katanas

[Ria]

Ria that's not a katana, look at the handle in comparison to blade length. Unless that is a katana with a really long handle (Which is stupid as most of the blade is not the tang, and it would off balance it) ,which it's not. It is a wakazashi.......blade lengths determine the type of sword: 7-12 inches is a tanto, 12 to 24 is a wakazashi, 24-39 is a katana. Any bigger than that it is a zanbato, and it was designed to take out a horse and rider in one blow but they were so heavy and impractical that they stopped making them after a few battles....

Ref#: SB08
Light of Heaven Katana:

This katana is stunningly beautiful in its simplicity.
The all white design gives it a clean look and feel.

The gold accented handle cap, and gold coloured tsuba play off the white perfectly.

The enamelled aluminium scabbard holds a blade length of 28 inches.

The sword is 42.5 inches overall with a nice double handed 13.5 inch handle.

That's what the description of the sword says
