Dear David.

 

Usually Japanese swords are measured from tip, kissaki,  to the machi, the place where the tang begins.  If that is so then I have a hard time believing that this is 23 inches long!

 

All the best.

Sorry Geriant, you are absolutely right. I should have clarified that as the total length. Thanks for pointing that out!
