Long before the Katana became the symbol of the Samurai, polearms dominated the battlefield. Particularly feared were the Sohei, the Buddhist warrior monks, who kept both cavalry and infantry at bay with their Naginatas.
We are pleased to offer you a high-quality replica of this iconic weapon – ready for immediate shipping.
A Masterpiece for Practice and Collection: The heart of this Naginata is the 51 cm (20 inch) hand-forged blade made of high-quality steel. It stands for authenticity and sharpness. But a blade is nothing without control: The shaft (Ebu) is oval-shaped (approx. 4 cm x 2.5 cm). This shape is crucial for handling, as it intuitively indicates the edge alignment to the wielder – similar to a Katana handle. This makes the weapon ideal for Kobudo training as well as for discerning collectors.
With a total length of 183 cm (approx. 72 inches, including sheath), this piece is an imposing presence in any dojo or living room.
