### Size and Weight - **Dimensions**: The total length is 103 cm, with a blade length of 72 cm, handle length of 26 cm, and blade width of 3.2 cm. These proportions adhere to traditional katana design principles, balancing blade length and sharpness with handle comfort and usability.Full weight;1.4kg,Without Saya sword weight;1.1kg
