Forging and heat treating a 49” blade is a tough task but the Hanwei smiths have mastered the technique and we’re excited to bring you our functional and historically accurate Odachi. The “O” means great and we’re not kidding. With an overall length of 67” there’s only one way to describe this sword - large! Patterned after an original from the 14th Century, when Odachi were still in use on the field of battle, this sword is a must for Japanese sword enthusiasts.
