A nodachi is a type of traditional Japanese longsword or greatsword. It is characterized by its unusually long blade, often exceeding four feet (120 centimeters) in length, with some nodachi reaching lengths of six feet (180 centimeters) or more. This exceptional length distinguishes it from more standard Japanese swords such as the katana and tachi, which are typically shorter.
This nodachi features a 38-inch blade forged and folded from T10 steel and differentially tempered. The hamon is hand-polished, and the long tang is double-pegged for added security.
The tsuba is crafted from brass with a detailed tsunami design and is paired with a brass habaki. The saya is finished in a deep black lacquer with a partial rayskin wrap.
