Do I have a Wazikashi?

[MTHall720]

I would much appreciate help identifying my blade. I think it is a Paul Chen "Tactical" Wazikashi. No clue how a blade is called tactical but the Wazikashi was a shorter sword. Blade length is about 20 inches. Am I confused?

Thanks very much. I surely appreciate it. Actually I had it listed locally but my buyer insisted I was wrong.

If the Nagasa is between 11.93" - 23.86" (these are the actual measurements, a general guide is 12-24")
