Width of a spatha blade
#10
Im not sure... 719mm for the blade seems like a quite normal lenght. Blades over 800mm don't seem to be quite useful. Much heavier, much slower, they need more space etc.

Tho the grip will be much longer because with 113mm I would not be able to hold it.
Plus currently I will use wooden grip which will be changed for bronze in next 2 years and to do that I need a bit longer handle.
Therefore total lenght will be around 95-100cm which is around 10-15cm longer than original.
