Odachi are two-handed greatswords which aren't balanced one handed weapons, they weigh in at 3.75+ lbs and do have blades that are 36"+, by definition. Katanas, aka tachis, aka daitos, are paired to the wielder's height, someone below 1.65m (5'5") would wield a 28" katana, which historically was tall in Japan, so most katanas are under 28" in blade length. A 30" katana would be wielded by someone 6'. The biggest katanas made were 33"-34" in blade length and meant to be wielded by people over 6'4". You seem to be confusing the issue and mixing blades meant for taller people vs. normal blades used by average height wielders. |
