Goodday to all!
I've had a sakabatou made and did some calculations in order to improve for a second one I want to buy. Could anybody give me his/her opinion about the following measurements of my new sakabatou (btw: it is a reverse bladed katana, sword).
Blade length: 26.772" or 68 cm
Hilt length: 15.846" or 40,248 cm
Overall lentgh: 42.815" or 108,748 cm
For the interested and people that know a bit more about swordfighting, I have a height of around 168 cm (= 66.14 inch), could be important.
Also, is it possible to have the center of gravity in the hilt of the katana (not talking about stainless steel machine made stuff, talking about carbon steel hand crafted katana)
Thanks for any reply's!
