Japanese sword blades were/are made in a variety of lengths.
The blade is classified by its length.
A daito (long sword),either a tachi or katana, is over two shaku (one shaku equals approximately 12 inches or 30 centimeters) in length.
A shoto or wakizashi has a blade length between one and two shaku.
A tanto blade is normally under one shaku in length.
The length of a sword blade (nagasa) is measured from the tip of the kissaki in a straight line to the mune-machi.
You can know your sword belong to which kind balde.
Merry Christmas :)
