Odachi

Odachi

Thermally forging and treating a 124 cm blade is a difficult task, but Hanwei blacksmiths have mastered the technique and Paul Chen is excited to bring you a functional and historically accurate Odachi, the great Japanese sword (also called Nodachi).

Modeled from an original 14th-century piece, when Odachi was still in use on the battlefield, this sword is a must.
