Tell that to the samurai. Most katana are shorter than that.
My blade is 32" locked into the hilt. I meant for it to have roughly the same handling as a katana (it's still a bit too long when hanging at my side -- grazes the ground instead of touching my ankle.) Bigger isn't always better. Smaller and faster can be just as good as longer reach and more power.
It really is a matter of personal taste and style.
Admittedly, I'd like to do a light-claymore one day. ;D
