8-9 inch blades are pretty standard but I have seen small ones with 6 inch blades and larger ones with 10-12 inch blades. Be sure to measure the buyers hand most old katars were made for smaller warriors therefore I often find that I can't fit my four fingers in without getting them squished. I have a large hand though.
