Item Specs

The Naginata, famed weapon of the Sohei, or warrior monks, of medieval
Japan was fearsome in the hands of a skilled combatant and is today of
great importance in the martial arts field. Paul Chen's naginata, while
retaining its traditional qualities, has been revised to better meet the
needs of the martial arts practitioner qualified to use an edged
weapon. Hand forged in 1065 high-carbon steel and edge tempered, using a
traditional claying method, the naginata blade is at least the equal of
the originals. Mounted on a long tang to better absorb the shock of a
blow, the blade has a strong distal taper for balance and quickness. The
delicately engraved tsuba features a silver butterfly motif. The
one-piece staff (ebu) is very strong, featuring a traditional tear-drop
cross-section for easy recognition of blade orientation and a black
non-slip finish for better control of the weapon. The naginata is
supplied with a wooden saya and cloth bag.
