Item Introduction

A naginata is a Japanese pole weapon whose blade has a lot of similarities with that of a katana in terms of forging process and shape. Naginata were used by the samurai, foot soldiers (ashigaru), warrior monks (sohei) and female warriors from noble families (onna-bugeisha). Its long reach makes it an effective weapon against mounted enemy or cavalry and against opponents armed with a sword.

Ryan872 is a naginata with a laminated blade in unokubi zukuri geometry. The blade edge is made of 1095 high carbon steel, the sides made of folded steel and the core made of iron. The blade is differentially-hardened with a beautiful notare or wave-pattern hamon. The area between hamon and back is hazuya-polished.
