Japanese Odachi Sword

This massive sword is not for the weak of heart or arm! This is a superb example of a Japanese odachi (great big sword). While it was used as a battlefield weapon during the Japanese feudal age wars, its great size made it difficult to wield except for the most capable of soldiers. The odachi was often used as an offering to a shrine or god for victory in battle, and could also be found as a unit’s emblem or in ceremonial roles. Measuring a massive 67" in length, this item features a 38" stainless steel blade with a heat tempered black finish and includes a nylon blade cover. The nylon cord wrapped handle combines an authentic Japanese appeal with functional performance. Few collectors can boast of having an item like this, so don’t hesitate to stand out from the crowd!
