	Nodachi - Cunnan
		The nodachi was carried by foot soldiers and was designed as a weapon for war versus cavalry and open field engagements.
		Nodachi were generally used on open battlefields as their length made their use indoors or close quarters difficult.
		The nodachi was more difficult to wield due to its abnormal size and weight, but like any weapon, could be extremely deadly if the warrior wielding it was skilled.

	Nodachi
		This is distinctive becasue most Japanese swords such as the katana, wakizashi, and tachi were worn at the waist or belt.
		The nodachi was more difficult to wield due to its abnormal size and weight, but like any weapon can be used most efficiently if the time and trouble is used to practice it well.
		Its cutting capability and range exceeded that of a katana (due to its weight and size) and therefore the nodachi can probably be considered to be the most powerful sword ever made if cutting capability is any measure of a sword's power.

	Nodachi - Definition, explanation
		However, some have suggested that the meaning of "nodachi" closer approximates odachi (大太刀;), or "large tachi".
		Thus, while the original use of the term may have been to refer to any type of long battle field sword (daito) such as a tachi, it currently is misapplied to any type of oversized Japanese sword.
		In some Chinese martial arts, Pa Kua Chang being perhaps the best known example, oversize weapons are used for training purposes in order to condition the martial artist to handle a normally sized weapon more efficiently.

	Grey goo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		As a result, with rare exceptions, nanotechnology is universally banned in human civilizations.

	Nodachi - NetSword Discussion Forums
		Nodachis really existed and were twice as long as a katana MAX.!(normally smaller) Forget everything longer and always think about it, that these weapons had to be handled effectively - there are some natural restrictions...
		Nodachis can only be used in the open field and never had any great popularity.
		I needed the info about it because the villian of my new book uses one, and I wanted to see what they were like.

	Nodachi on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
		A Nodachi is a long katana which needs to be wielded with both hands.
		a Nodachi is sometimes called a Dai-katana or long-sword.
		My seemingly scholarly knowledge of these terms comes from this great piece of game journalism: Knee Deep In a Dream: The Story of Daikatana which chronicles the creation of the highly hyped but ultimately forgettable game called Daikatana.
