The OKatana is a variant of the Japanese Katana Sword, possessing larger dimensions than the traditional design. This includes a more substantial blade and a marginally extended two-handed handle. Originally, samurais wielded this weapon on the battlefield. However, during the peaceful Edo Period, their usage was restricted and sizes were decreased. In present times, they serve a more practical purpose, aligning with the current height average of 5`7.5” (175 cm). This modern day height requirement is a departure from the historical samurai height of 5`4” (162 cm). As such, OKatanas are predominantly found in tameshigiri practice.
