A common Great sword was about 1.5 meters long (or 5 feet). However, as Valyrian steel is considerably lighter than common steel, Valyrian great swords were likely larger in general. A good estimate for the size of a typical great sword would be 1.65 meters (about 5 feet 5 inches).

The katana is generally defined as the standard sized, moderately curved (as opposed to the older tachi featuring more curvature) Japanese sword with a blade length greater than 60.6 cm (​23 1⁄2 inches) (Japanese 2 Shaku).

A broadsword (also spelled as broad sword or broad-sword) is a type of European sword characterized as having a cruciform hilt with a grip for two-handed use (around 16 to 28 cm (6 to 11 in)), a straight double-edged blade of around 85 to 110 cm (33 to 43 in), and weighing approximately 1 to 1.5 kg (2.2 to 3.3 lb).
