mattr Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 were these mass produced blades generally seen as a particular size (ie: katana) or did they span the range of popular sizes during the mid Muromachi period? I find this a particular confusing period as it seems that both tachi/tanto and katana/wakizashi were produced (as well as uchi-gatana?). Can anyone shed some light on these types of blades? Thanks, Quote
Jean Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 Matt, Search NMB archives there has been extensive topic on this. To be brief : Yes for the length (the same) - and now off to work Quote
David Flynn Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 Generally they were about 26" however some were smaller and some much bigger. Quote
Jean Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 In fact these swords followed the trend Quote
