The length of a sword can vary hugely, there are short swords of maybe as little as 40cm, often archers or crossbowmen would weild them. Then there is the 'average' sword length, of maybe a metre, many European single handed swords were around this length. Then there are the larger swords, Broadswords, Hand-and-a-half swords, Japanese Tachi's. They could be any length over a metre. Some were absolutely huge, like the scottish claymores. which could be 5 foot or more in length.
