A tachi is a type of sabre-like traditionally made Japanese sword worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan. Tachi and uchigatana generally differ in length, degree of curvature, and how they were worn when sheathed, the latter depending on the location of the mei (銘), or signature, on the tang.
In modern nihonto terms there is a tachi, uchigatana and katana, all of which can be differentiated from each other by size, location of the mei etc. A katana being worn in the manner of a tachi is still considered to be a katana if the mei is a katana mei. Likewise if a tachi is being worn as a katana but has a tachi mei then it is a tachi.
