Naginata, Paul Chen

Treat Yourself to Naginata, Paul Chen

Naginata



The naginata, the famous weapon of the sohei (warrior monks) of medieval Japan, was a fearsome weapon in the hands of a skilled fighter and remains of great importance in martial arts today.



Paul Chen's naginata, while retaining its traditional qualities, has been adapted to the needs of martial artists who train with sharp, edged weapons.



The naginata's blade was forged true to the original from 1065 carbon steel and hardened at the edge, traditionally with a clay coating. The blade is mounted on a long tang to provide better shock absorption and has a strong distal taper for better balance and speed.



The finely engraved tsuba displays a silver butterfly motif. The one-piece rod ( ebu ) is extremely stable and has a teardrop-shaped section to detect the direction of the blade, as well as a black non-slip surface for better control of the weapon.



The naginata comes with a wooden saya and a cloth sheath.



From hanwei.
