Description

Item Specs

The Naginata is the Japanese version of the Pole Arm. The design of the weapon was based on the Chinese Pu Dao. The Naginata first came into use during the 8th century. Originally used to dismount horsemen, the Naginata also proved to be efficient in clearing foot soldiers and soon became a favorite among the Samurai.

In later times the Naginata switched from being predominately used by men to being used by women. During the Edo Period it became proper for a woman of the Samurai class to be proficient in the use of the Naginata. In the absence of her husband it was the woman's duty to defend the Samurai's home. The Naginata was perfect in this regard because it could be used to keep a male attacker at a distance so that the difference in strength and size could not be used against the woman.

Features

Blade: The blade of the Naginata has been constructed from 440 Stainless Steel with an aesthetic hamon and double blood lines. The blade comes slightly sharpened.
Guard: The guard of the naginata is a ring design with Sakura blossoms. The blade of the Naginata has been secured into the guard with a blade collar.
Shaft: The shaft is wooded with a dull black gloss finish. The center of the shaft can be unscrewed for easy storage. The pommel of the guard is a solid steel construction.
Sheath: The sheath is wooden with a hand carved dragon.
