hi guys!
For my new art i look some info about samurai swords.

Could some one tell me, is it true:
"However Gilbertson, Oscar Ratti, and Adele Westbrook state that a sword is called a tachi when hung from the obi (belt or sash) with the edge down, and the same sword becomes a katana when worn edge up thrust through the girdle." ???

And could some one translate me this two symbols? i know that first mean "fat", but im not sure that it's only meaning.
太, 鋏

THANKS
