O-KATANA (Tachi)
This blade is 5" longer and the handle is 1" longer than our standard 28" katana making this one VERY BIG sword. The sword is a heavy blade to handle, but cuts extremely well. Its length far exceeds those swords commonly used for iai so there needs to be additional care and special prior to using this blade. The full weight of the sword is 3 lbs 9 oz (with saya) even with the bo-hi, and measures 34" from tsuba to kissaki and is a very very massive blade. Weight distribution makes this sword a very nice cutter, but the additional requires extra caution when using this sword (Its length allows the tip to contact the ground in natural standing position of most individuals). Fully sharpened for tameshigiri exercises.This shinken may be run only for a limited time. So if you EVER wanted a Tachi now is the time to get one!!
