Hanwei Naginata

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.

Our 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 highcarbon 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 onepiece staff ebu is very strong featuring a traditional teardrop crosssection for easy recognition of blade orientation and a black nonslip finish for better control of the weapon.

The naginata is supplied with a wooden saya and cloth bag.
