Long Black and Red Nodachi Long Katana

Odachi or nodachi was a type of traditionally made Japanese sword used by the samurai class of feudal Japan. Odachi are difficult to produce because their length makes traditional heat treatment more complicated: The longer a blade is, the more difficult (and expensive) it is to heat the whole blade to a homogeneous temperature, both for annealing and to reach the hardening temperature. The quenching process then needs a bigger quenching medium because uneven quenching might lead to warping the blade.

This Hand Forged 53-inch Nodachi features a folded steel reddish-black blade, showcasing traditional craftsmanship from the Edo period. A perfect long sword for collectors and martial arts enthusiasts.

  • Folded steel. Full Tang, clay tempered.
  • Battle ready, not just a collectible.
  • Traditional craftsmanship, hand forged, hand polished.
  • Perfect balance, comfortable grip.
  • Gives away a free sword bag and spare mekugi (Peg).

Notes:

  1. The odachi for sale is 100% handmade, so specification varies slightly from sword to sword. We appreciate your understanding.
  2. All our katana swords are hand forged by swordsmiths,  the forging time about 7-15 days. For some high-performance swords may require longer hand-forged processing time, depending on the difficulty of the craft.
