Good Karma and Dharma deals for 4/27

Does anyone know approximately the handle length on the Tarwar and Wajaski.

Also, I'm curious, is there a fun historical/linguistic reason why HI calls them tarwars and wajaskis instead of tulwars and wakizashis?

I own both that look very similar to the ones being offered. The Tarwar's handle is just big enough to get a two handed grip. The wajisaki is a one hand only affair just like a true wakizashi should be. The Talwar's handle is probably 8in maybe 10 inches long depending on the kami. The Wajisaki's is between 6-7 inches. I hope this helps. I will measure mine when I get home and give you some exact numbers.
