Thanks for comments.

Yeah, I'll probably end up getting the 36" Cold Steel "O Katana"... unless someone can convince me that a smaller one would be a better choice given my height. I suppose the difference between the standard and O models is negligible... at 7 inches of blade doesn't matter all that much indoors at close range with a two-handed sword.

I'm just thinking my height / my reach versus sword reach = balance.

But what do I know? I suppose hands-on-handle experience will help fix that.

Anybody have anything useful for me to read / do before I make a choice?
