You looked! You perverts!
I created a topic on e-budo about this sword. Not sure it has been mentioned here before though.
I found this big (japanese) sword on the web with a total length of 3.77 meters.

As I said on E-budo: "Jebus!"

Check out the other swords on that site as well.

aww bugger.

Would a sword like that ever have been intended for use? Or just as a decoration?

Pretty awesome. I've seen that picture somewhere, but happy to take a look at it again. I wonder what it looked like with all the fittings, tsuka, etc.? Fred, you owe me some porn now!

Yeah that site was already posted on KW.
If i'm not mistaken, those kinda swords weren't made for battle purposes but as gifts to temples.

If I remember correctly, it was some kid asking if those really long swords from (some anime) really did exist.

I just did a research, i guess it was Curtis who posted the link the first time back in 2004.

Back to the subject:

Can you imagine how it would feel handling one of those swords

Ah dont worry. I'm a regular at the smut-thread. Keep yer eyes peeled there .

Yes this sword was created as an offering to a shrine:

This Ôdachi is the longest in Japan.

What is so amazing about this Ôdachi is that it was forged the same way as a traditional Japanese sword. It was made as a complete sword and not simply made in sections and tacked together. It was forged with incredible skill, which is evident from looking at the hada.

Norimitsu was a popular line of swordsmiths that started in the Oei Bizen school (1394) and continued until the end of Bizen. No one knows much about the current owner of this Ôdachi, but it was recently polished and named "Kibitsu maru" by the priest at Kibitsu Jinja. This Shrine is one of the most sacred in the Kibi area (present day Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures). As for handling it...Jebus! 14 kilograms! 3.77 meters long?!

The misses doesn't fancy the hubbys porn. Sounds normal in a strange, twisted sort of way.

Here's the mrs's porn, if you dare click it.

Looks like I'm in after the Sephiroth reference.

I saw some pretty long swords at Kouchi Castle, but none that long.

I could only imagine how hard it must be to weild such a thing.

[Liaptoono]

I think it was a result of p.ssing contest between smiths. this sword contained a lot of sweat, blood, and mucho terestorone
