 E-Budo.com - Schools that teach tachi use?
The major difference between a katana and a tachi is not in the sword, it is in the mounts.
As stated in Arms and Armor of the Samurai, the tachi (especially of the Heian period) were generally longer and more deeply curved, while katana blades actually embodied a combination of certain characteristics of tachi from the Heian and Kamakura periods, being shorter, slightly less curved, and more robust.
I think many tachi were remounted in the style of katana as a less expensive way of obtaining a sword of that type than actually purchasing a new one.
