Due to the length of the blade, the sword is an odachi. (AKA nodachi) Odachi were traditionally used on horseback, as they were usually twice the length of the average katana, making hand to hand combat with one rather difficult, with the katana being better suited for that task due to ease of maneuverability. Why Raven's blade is such a weapon, I cannot say. Still looks awesome.
