A naginata typically ranges from 6 to 8 feet in length. The blade is usually around 1 to 2 feet long, with the rest of the length made up by the shaft or pole.

Is a medium Katana better like 30 inches or a long Katana 40 inch?

well, for combat, a shorter katana allows for greater mobility. the only reason it'd be long is for the reach or extra weight, but if you want those just get a Naginata(i personally like these). but as for design, i think it'd have a nice look to it, though make sure to get a full tang katana no matter what as for decorative katana's i found this interesting also, though i think it's just the blade, if i could i would get a diff. sheath, and hand guard
