How many types of katanas are there?

1. Standard Katana (Daito): The most common form of katana, with a curved blade between 60 and 90 cm.

2. Wakizashi: A shorter katana, with a blade between 30 and 60 cm. It was used as a secondary weapon alongside the katana.

3. Tanto: A large knife or dagger, with a blade less than 30 cm long. It was used as a support weapon or for hand-to-hand combat.

4. Tachi: Similar to the katana, but with a different mount to be worn at the waist with the blade facing down. It was used mainly by cavalry.

5. Odachi: A large katana, with a blade of over 90 cm. It was used as a ceremonial weapon or to fight against enemies with heavy armor.
