Buyer's Notes

Understanding our tachi-style collection

Tachi and katana are related Japanese sword forms, but their traditional wearing orientation and mountings differ. On a newly made tachi-style sword, the most visible distinction is often the koshirae and suspension hardware rather than length alone.

For that reason, compare each model by its documented curvature, blade and handle dimensions, fittings, saya construction and total weight. We use the term tachi-style to describe these modern Longquan-made pieces accurately without suggesting that they are antique Japanese swords.

01

Mounting

Review the suspension hardware, fittings and saya decoration as a complete presentation.

02

Curvature

Compare the stated blade form and measurements rather than assuming all tachi-style swords are longer.

03

Materials

Check the documented steel, heat treatment and fitting materials for the individual model.

04

Custom brief

Advanced dimensions and decorative work require feasibility and price review.

Common Questions

Before you choose

What is the difference between a tachi and a katana?

Historically, tachi were generally worn suspended edge-down, while katana were commonly worn edge-up through the belt. On modern reproductions, mounting style is often the clearest distinction.

Are these antique Japanese tachi?

No. They are newly made tachi-style swords produced and assembled through our workshop in Longquan, China.

Can I customize a tachi-style sword?

Selected dimensions, blade details, fittings, saya finish and engraving can be reviewed. The approved scope, price and production time are confirmed before work begins.

Need a different specification?
